The words in bold face in this excerpt from “The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe are examples of which sound device?


Keeping time, time, time,

In a sort of Runic rhyme,

To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells

From the bells, bells, bells, bells,

Bells, bells, bells—

From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The words are examples of the assonance sound device. It  is the repetition of the sound of a vowel or diphthong in nonrhyming stressed syllables near enough to each other for the echo to be discernible. Hope this answers the question.
