Assessment: WAEC SSCE - Literature In English - 2010 (Objective) Subject: Literature In English

Question 1 Report

''The strong gongs groaming as the guns born far'' illustrates
Answer Details
The phrase "The strong gongs groaning as the guns born far" illustrates onomatopoeia, which is the use of words that imitate the sound they represent. In this case, the words "gongs" and "groaning" imitate the sound of bells ringing, and the word "guns" imitates the sound of explosions. The use of onomatopoeia in this line helps to create a vivid auditory image of a battle, adding to the overall sensory experience of the poem.
