Which line from the poem best supports the answer to Part A?

• Motionless, miles above the air,

  She had never heard the great

  Wind blare.

• But the Moon, she knew nothing about the affair,

• First blew her away right out of the sky

  Then blew her in; what strength have I!"

• He leaped and hallooed with whistle and roar,

  "What's that?" The glimmering thread once more!
