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?

In excerpt 1, the repeated beginning “t” sound in “tale,” “terror,” “turbulency,” and “tells” is alliteration. In excerpt 2, “moaning” and “groaning” imitate the mournful sounds made by the bells, so they are examples of onomatopoeia. Therefore, the statement that excerpt 1 uses alliteration and excerpt 2 uses onomatopoeia is correct.
