Question

Read the following from paragraph 8.

“The ball drops to the ground at the boy's feet. It
lies there stunned, quivering, containing flight
beneath its smooth skin.”
Why does the author use personification in this quotation?
F.
The baseball game symbolizes the love of the family.
G.
The author is comparing the ball to a bird.
H. The author is showing the distance the ball has traveled.
J. The description mimics the boy's disappointment.

Answer 1
