Question

The worst part about the whole experience, though, was the lack of privacy. Why did everyone have to hush up when I talked on my cell phone? I needed my alone time to replenish my sanity by talking with some friends. And why did Aunt Lucy need to make a half-hour-long public announcement while cleaning her teeth after every meal? I could hear every puff of air, forced in and out between her teeth. Ppppthhht! Shvvvvvpt!

Paragraph 8 includes an example of:

A. Simile

B. Metaphor

C. Onomatopoeia

D. Personification

Answer 1

The example in paragraph 8 is an example of onomatopoeia.

Step-by-step explanation:

The example in paragraph 8 includes the literary device of onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is when words mimic or imitate sounds. In this paragraph, the author uses words like 'Ppppthhht' and 'Shvvvvvpt' to imitate the sounds of air being forced in and out between Aunt Lucy's teeth.
