Question

“Mary clanged two glasses together, rudely interrupting the conversations going on around her. But why should she care? She was clearly the most interesting person in the room. Once she had the attention of the room, she rose slowly from her seat flaunting her new dress and making sure everyone could see her overly showy jewelry. She stood as still as a statue with all eyes on her. She finally simply said ‘thank you for coming,’ her words biting the ears of all who heard them. She then sat down satisfied with her actions.” Which of the following sentences is an example of onomatopoeia?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mary clanged two glasses together.

Explanation:

The word clanged is an example of onomatopoeia since the word is a noise, and it makes the reader know the sound without hearing it.
