Answer 2

Answer:

B.  The rising action of his plot.

Explanation:

In Percy Bysshe Shelley's poem "Ode To The West Wind", the author wanted to spread the message of reform and revolution, with the 'wind' acting as a means to spread the words.

The poet's use of the imagery of dormant seeds as ghosts, and later on referencing to a "destroyer" makes it significant for the readers to know how powerful the wind is. He manages to show that the wind, capable of destruction, is also the very same means by which plants grow and develop. The wind being an element of preserver and also destroyer is evidently the rising plot of the poem, which can be seen from the poem.
