Read excerpt 1 (line 38) from "The Bells"by Edgar Allan Poe. What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells! Read excerpt 2 (line 113) from "The Bells"by Edgar Allan Poe. To the moaning and the groaning of the bells. Which statement best describes the use of sound devices in the lines 7 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.

## Step 1<br />The first step in solving this problem is to understand the definitions of alliteration and onomatopoeia. <br />### **Alliteration** is the repetition of the same consonant sounds at the beginning of words in a sentence or phrase. <br />### **Onomatopoeia** is a word that phonetically imitates or suggests the sound that it describes.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Next, we analyze the first excerpt, "What a tale of terror, now, their turbulency tells!". Here, the words "tale", "terror", "turbulency", and "tells" all start with the same consonant sound 't', which is a clear example of alliteration.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Then, we analyze the second excerpt, "To the moaning and the groaning of the bells". Here, the words "moaning" and "groaning" are examples of onomatopoeia, as they phonetically imitate the sounds they describe.
