Question

Review line 6 from Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan,' then answer the question. 'So twice five miles of fertile ground.' Type an 'x' next to each sound device that Coleridge uses in line 6 to create a musical effect.

1) Onomatopoeia
2) Assonance
3) Consonance
4) Alliteration

Answer 1

Coleridge's line 6 from 'Kubla Khan' contains assonance, consonance, and alliteration, but not onomatopoeia, as part of its sound devices.

Step-by-step explanation:

In line 6 of Coleridge's 'Kubla Khan', 'So twice five miles of fertile ground,' several sound devices are used to create a musical effect. We can identify assonance in the repetition of the 'i' sound in 'twice' and 'miles,' consonance in the repetition of the 's' sound throughout the line, and alliteration in the use of 'f' sounds with 'five' and 'fertile.' However, there is no onomatopoeia, as there is no use of words that imitate sounds.
