Question

Which is the BEST example of personification? A) Grandma enjoys listening to the thunder roar. B) Mother saw the fish jump out of the water. C) Father waited for the oven timer to ring. Eliminate D) Grandpa loves quiet evenings at home.

Answer 1

Answer: A) Grandma enjoys listening to the thunder roar

Explanation: Thunder is a non-living thing. The author gives thunder a human characteristic by using the word "roar."

Answer 2

A is your BEST choice.

A) Thunder can only make noise. It's emphasizing that the thunder is performing the action to roar.
Outside of this question, some may not consider this as a personification. The question is asking you for the BEST example (reasonable).
B) Jump is a verb. A fish can jump out of water.
C) Timers do ring. A telephone rings. Simple.
D) Quiet is just describing evenings.

Hope this helps.
