Answer 1

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

Vast forms that move fantastically To a discordant melody; While, like a rapid ghastly river, Through the pale door, A hideous throng rush out forever.

How does Poe use a sound device in the excerpt? He uses euphony to illustrate the constancy of nature. He uses alliteration to draw attention to the suffering. He uses cacophony to emphasize the evil nature of tragedy. He uses internal rhyme to enhance the rhythm of his lyrical poem.

Answer:

The correct answer is He uses cacophony to emphasize the evil nature of tragedy.

Explanation:

To begin, we should define what cacophony is.

It is a literary tool that is defined within the errors that are made when speaking and that produce "damage" in the statement or speech as an unpleasant sound for the ear and is characterized by the unnecessary repetition, repeatedly or closely, of phonemes in the same sentence or by the inappropriate combination of the different components of a sentence, which lack harmony.

In this case, Poe uses this tool to emphasize the evil nature of tragedy.
