the rain set early in to - night,
the sullen wind was soon awake,
it tore the elm - tops down for spite,
and did its worst to vex the lake

these lines from the poem have several examples o. the lines express the importance of of
nature. the poetic sound device that is most pronou

Explanation:

1. For the first dropdown: Personification is giving human traits to non-human things. The poem gives the wind human qualities like being "sullen," "awake," acting out of "spite," and "vex[ing]" the lake, so this is the correct sound/figurative device.
2. (Note: The second part of the question is cut off, but based on the visible text and the poem excerpt, the completed sentence would logically focus on the power/force of nature, as the excerpt emphasizes the wind's destructive, willful actions.)

Answer:

1. First dropdown: personification
2. (Second part incomplete; based on context, a logical completion would be: The lines express the importance of acknowledging the raw, destructive force of nature.)
