Question

choose the poem that uses onomatopoeia.
when you live alone, how you hear each sound!
should a mouse but scuttle along the ground
and a loose board creak—there! was it a mouse?
or a ghosts step through the house!
all the seasons run their race
in this quiet resting-place;
peach and apricot and fig
here will ripen and grow big.
from ada bartrick baker,
eighbours\ and from henry austin dobson, \a garden song\

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia refers to words that imitate sounds. In the first poem, "scuttle" (imitates the mouse's movement sound) and "creak" (imitates the sound of a loose board) are onomatopoeic. The second poem has no such sound - imitating words. So the poem with onomatopoeia is the first one: "When you live alone, how you hear each sound! Should a mouse but scuttle along the ground And a loose board creak—There! was it a mouse? Or a ghost's step through the house!".

Answer:

The poem that uses onomatopoeia is: "When you live alone, how you hear each sound! Should a mouse but scuttle along the ground And a loose board creak—There! was it a mouse? Or a ghost's step through the house!".
