Within the story "A Race and a Frolic," the word "crack" is an example of which literary element?


Metaphor


Simile


Onomatopoeia


Irony

Respuesta :

Answer: Onomatopoeia

Explanation: Onomatopoeia, what a word! The word means sound effect. Think superheros: BAM! WHIZZ. ZOOP! BOING!

Or animal sounds: Baa. Woof. Meow.

Would a gun being shot, CRACK! be a sound effect?.... ..... Yes. It's an onomatopoeia.

“Crack” is an example of onomatopoeia because it’s a word that sounds like the sound (example: boom, bam, click, etc). A simile is a comparison between two things using “like” or “as”. A metaphor is a comparison without using “like” or “as”. And irony is something that is different from what is in reality from what is implied.
