Which lines from “The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe contain onomatopoeia? Check all that apply.

What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
Keeping time, time, time,
From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.
To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!

Answer:

B & D

Step-by-step explanation:

Onomatopeia is as if describing a sound but in a text such as: OUCH! CRASH! BOOM! The option B is true because the author write tinkle, tinkle, tinkle as in order to describe the sound of something, the option D is correct because it is describing that the sound of the bells is like jingling and tinkling. Hope this helps!
