Select the word which has onomatopoeia in it:

(1) Strength, wealth and wisdom

(2) Bread, butter and jam

(3) Howling, yelling and clapping

(4) Silence, quiet, whisper

3

The answer is 3. Howling, yelling and clapping are all onomatopoeias. Onomatopoeia is the use of words that sound like the noise they refer to. So, howling, yelling and clapping all sound like the noises they describe.

The other words in the question are not onomatopoeias. Strength, wealth and wisdom are abstract concepts, so they do not have any sounds associated with them. Bread, butter and jam are all nouns, and nouns are not typically onomatopoeias. Silence, quiet and whisper are all words that describe sounds, but they are not onomatopoeias themselves. They are just words that describe the sounds of silence, quiet and whispering.
