The statement that best describes the use of sound devices in the lines is the one that reads as follows: "Excerpt 1 contains alliteration, and excerpt 2 contains onomatopeia".
Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. In the first example, the sound /t/ is repeated in "turbulency tells". On the other hand, onomatopeia is the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named. In the second example, there are "moaning" and "groaning", both verbs relating to sounds and being formed from the sound they are associated with.
