Which of the following lines that Shylock speaks in Act 2: Scene 5 is the BEST

example of personification?
But stop my house's ears, I mean my casements: / Let not the sound of
shallow foppery enter / my sober house.
Fast bind, fast find, / A proverb never stale in thrifty mind.
Snail-slow in profit, and he sleeps by day / More than the wild-cat:
There is some ill a-brewing towards my rest,​

Answer:

"But stop my house's ears, I mean my casements"

Step-by-step explanation:

Personification is defined as giving an unliving thing living characteristics. By claiming that the house has ears would be personification.
