The rusty spigot
sputters,
utters
a splutter,
spatters a smattering of drops,
gashes wider;
slash,
splatters,
scatters,
spurts,
finally stops sputtering
and plash!
gushes rushes splashes
clear water dashes

Correct me if I'm wrong!!
I believe your right! Good Job
You are correct on both questions.
You are correct! In the poem "Onomatopoeia," option A accurately describes what is happening. The rusty spigot hesitates and then allows water to run. Additionally, in option A of the second question, the word "sputters" is used correctly to describe the engine starting in the cold. Well done!
You are correct.
In "Onomatopoeia," choice A is the correct answer. The poem describes a rusty spigot that initially sputters, but eventually, the water starts to flow. The use of onomatopoeia, or words that imitate sounds, like "sputters" and "splashes," helps paint a vivid picture of the spigot's behavior.
Similarly, in question 4, the word "sputters" is used correctly in the sentence "The engine 'sputters' when it is started in the cold." Here, "sputters" accurately describes the irregular, hesitant start of the engine, which aligns with the definition of the word. The other options don't convey the same meaning or usage of the word correctly.
