Select the word which has onomatopoeia in it:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Howling, yelling and clapping

Onomatopoeia is the use of words whose sound copies the sound they name.

Option	What it is	Example
(1) Strength, wealth and wisdom	These are abstract qualities. None of the words imitates a sound. The repeated "w" and "th" sounds make a sound pattern, not onomatopoeia.	–
(2) Bread, butter and jam	These are names of foods. They name things, not sounds.	–
(3) Howling, yelling and clapping (answer)	Howl imitates the long cry of a wolf or the wind. Yell is a loud cry. Clap copies the sharp sound of hands striking together. All three are sound words, so this group has onomatopoeia in it.	The dogs howled all night outside the gate.
(4) Silence, peace and calm	These words describe the absence of sound and disturbance. None of them imitates a sound.	–
