The poetry device used here is metaphor.

Metaphor is a poetry device that is used in comparing two unlike things without using words like 'like' or 'as'.

The phrase 'a wave of emotion' is metaphorical because the emotion that is felt at that time is compared to that of a wave without including words such as 'like' or 'as'.

Therefore it is a metaphor.

Hope it is clear ^_^

Explanation:

A prepositional phrase is a group of words that contains a preposition (e.g. in, on, near, by, for, etc), its object, and words that modify the object. The object can be a noun, a gerund (a verb form ending in -ing that acts as a noun), or a clause.

In the Answer section, you can see the correct answers. I have pointed out the prepositional phrases (what you are supposed to underline once) and have underlined the objects (what you are supposed to underline twice). Like this, we can clearly see what the elements of prepositional phrases are.
