Answer 2

Answer:

This particular line makes use of a figure of speech known as onomatopoeia.

Explanation:

• The process of developing a word that phonetically mimics, evokes or implies the sound it describes is referred to as onomatopoeia, which is a figure of speech.
• This suggests that the word employed has a pronunciation that is extremely close to the sound that was described.
• Sounds such as buzz, cuckoo, and hiss, amongst others, are examples.
• The sound produced by the bell as it descends into the water is referred to by the word "gurgling" in the sentence that has been provided.
• The sound that is made by the word "gurgling" is phonetically similar to the sound that is made by the bell as it sinks and bubbles emerge from the water.
