Answer:

1. Because of the wind

2. Due to the loss that wind has created, people are unhappy and therefore their hearts are crumbling.

3. Anaphora

Explanation:

1. The wind is very strong and devastating. The force of the wind is not tolerated by the houses and therefore they are "crumbling". The houses, bodies, and lives are all affected by the strong wind which is responsible for taking lives and damaging the houses.

2. When the wind causes chaos, many lives are lost. The survivors' lives have been shattered as well, since their loved ones have died and their houses and possessions have been devastated. They have lost all hope in life.

3. Anaphora, or the repeating of particular words, is a literary device utilised in these lines. The phrase 'crumbling' has been used several times to describe the wind's devastation.
