Onomatopoeia is imitation of sounds of nature. I don't see the onomatopoeia in this lines.

You are correct! The line in the poem that contains an example of onomatopoeia is Line 15: "Taffy is slurpy and sticky and sweet."
Now, let me explain how to identify onomatopoeia in a poem or any other piece of writing. Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech that uses words to imitate or represent the sound of an action, object, or animal. In this case, the word "slurpy" is an example of onomatopoeia because it imitates the sound one would make while slurping on taffy. The word "sticky" does not illustrate a sound, but it does describe a sensory experience that we can associate with taffy. However, it is not an example of onomatopoeia.
To identify onomatopoeia, look for words that sound like the action or object they are describing. These words often enhance the reader's understanding by creating vivid imagery or adding an element of sound. In this case, the word "slurpy" mimics the sound of someone enjoying taffy, making it the correct answer.
