Answer:

The sound device which is most notable in the above excerpt is:

A: alliteration

Step-by-step explanation:

Alliteration is the figure of speech. When the same sound or same letter occurs in the initial syllable or words of the sentence is said to be an alliteration. The words 'way', 'whales', 'where', 'winds' are the words which are the example of alliteration in the above lines.
