Jessie Riggs · Answer 1

Onomatopoeia is a sentence that uses sound. the first sentence does not use sound, and sentence 4 and 5 definitely are not is because they don't even mention sound you're left with line 3 and this is correct because line 3 says the word whisper.

Line 3 only

the description "all is well" is describing what the wind sounded like using words.
