Question

fate mocked him every moment. (identify and explain the figure of speech in the sentence)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Personification

Explanation:

''Fate mocked him every moment.''

In this line, 'fate' is an inanimate object i.e. It does not have life. But here, it has been given a human quality i.e. Mocking. So, since an inanimate object has been given a humanly quality, this is Personification.

Personfication = Noun for of Personify.

Personify has the word 'Person' in it. Hence, to personify means to make it a person or give it a personly/humanly quality.
