Question

Which of the following is NOT an example of personifications
.The star I wished on winked at me.
.The trout danced on the water's surface.
.The angry mirror showed every wrinkle on his face.​

Answer 1

"The angry mirror showed every wrinkle on his face"

We use personification to express some action which in reality has not happened.

First option and Second option fits best.

Last option is not an example of Personification

Answer 2

'The trout danced on the water's surface' is NOT an example of personification.

• Personification is a literary device used in writing which gives human-like attributes and characteristics to things.
• It is used to represent non-human things involved in activities done by humans.
• In the first sentence, 'the star winked' denotes personification. A start cannot wink but it is treated like a person.
• Similarly, in the third sentence, a mirror cannot get angry but it is given that characteristic.
