Question

Which statement best describes the use of sound devices in the lines? Both excerpts use alliteration as a sound device. Both excerpts use onomatopoeia as a sound device. Excerpt 1 contains alliteration, and Excerpt 2 contains onomatopoeia. Excerpt 1 contains onomatopoeia, and Excerpt 2 contains alliteration.

Answer 1

The statement that best describes the use of sound devices in the lines is the one that reads as follows: "Excerpt 1 contains alliteration, and excerpt 2 contains onomatopeia".

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In the first example, the sound /t/ is repeated in "turbulency tells". On the other hand, onomatopeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named. In the second example, there are "moaning" and "groaning", both verbs relating to sounds and being formed from the sound they are associated with.

Answer 2

Excerpt one contains alliteration and excerpt two contains onomatopoeia.
