Answer 2

Answer:

Personification is the figure of speech employed in the line from the previous paragraph. In this figure of speech, a non-human object or item that symbolizes an abstract quality or notion is given human traits.

Explanation:

• In personification, non-living creatures are given human characteristics as a poetic literary device.
• When we say the wind is blowing or the light is shining, we are personifying those elements. Authors employ personification to give non-human creatures, animals, and concepts human characteristics, such as feelings and behaviors.
• Personification can be seen in the phrase "the story leaped off the page." Any instances where the author presents something non-human as having human traits can be identified as personification.
