Question

"Sorrow knocked at my door, but I was afraid" is an example of A) alliteration. B) hyperbole. C) metaphor. D) personification.

Answer 1

I think the answer to this is B

Answer 2

Answer: D) Personification.

Step-by-step explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). In the given sentence we can see a clear example of the use of perssonification, because it says that sorrow (a non human object) knocked at the speaker's door (knocking is a human characteristic). So the correct answer is the corresponding to option D.
