Question

Select the correct text in the passage.
Which pair of lines from T. S. Elliot's "Rhapsody on a Windy Night" is an example of onomatopoeia?
Twelve o'clock.
Along the reaches of the street
Held in a lunar synthesis,
Whispering lunar incantations
Dissolve the floors of memory
And all its clear relations,
Its divisions and precisions,
Every street lamp that I pass
Beats like a fatalistic drum,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
Half past one,
The street lamp sputtered,
The street lamp muttered,
The street lamp said,
Need help with the answer

Answer 1

Answer:

The pair of lines from T.S. Elliot's "Rhapsody on a Windy Night" which is an example of onomatopoeia is "The street lamp sputtered, The street lamp muttered". Onomatopoeia is the formation of words which imitate sounds produced by people, animals or even objects. It's a figure of speech (some call it a figure of sound). "Sputter" and "mutter" are two perfect examples of onomatopoeia, since they are the representation of sounds and sound like those sounds. Other examples of onomatopoeia are: "buzz", "hiss" and "bang".
