Answer 2

Answer:

The given sentence is : - In the wild wind, the thunder-clouds clap their giant hands.

• It is a Personification.

Explanation :

• Personification is a figure of speech. It consists in investing abstract ideas or inanimate objects with the attributes of a living being. There is an instinct in man's nature which urges him to believe that inanimate objects are endowed with sensibility, and that they can think, feel and act like human beings.

• Here in the above sentence the thunder-clouds are clapping their giant hands. We know that thunder-clouds can't clap their giant hands like a man but they are doing it like a human being, so Personification is correct here.

• Example : Nature might stand up / And say to all the world, "This was a man!" - Shakespeare.
