First of all, you need to know what onomatopoeia is. It is a rhetorical figure of speech in which sounds from nature are included - sounds such as meow, growl, squeal, etc. Having that in mind, the correct answers are:

#2:How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,

#4:From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

#5:To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!
