Question

Which is the BEST example of personification? A) The ice cream turned to soup in the summer heat. B) The bed groaned when the dog jumped on it. C) The boat rocked back and forth quickly. D) The car's engine was overheating.

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation: Saying the bed groaned is a form of personification since groaning is something a person would do. It would not be personification if the sentence would've said the bed made a noise when the dog jumped on it.

Answer 2

Personification is a type of figurative language that gives an inanimate object human-like characteristics.

So, "B" is the correct answer.

The bed was given a human characteristic when it 'groaned'.

I hope this helps!
