Question

Which part of the following short story is PERSONIFICATION? "Little

waterfalls splashed on the stones. Five-fingered ferns hung over the waterand dropped spray from their fingertips, Pepe rode half over his saddle,dangling one leg loosely. He picked a bay leaf from a tree beside the way and put it in his mouth for a moment."​

Answer 1

Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips.

Step-by-step explanation:

Personification is a literary device in which human characteristics are attributed to something non-human. It is present in the following sentence: Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips.

Ferns are plants. When someone mentions fingers and fingertips, we usually think about human hands. Ferns can't have fingers. The writer is talking about their leaves but uses personification to compare them to fingers, this way giving them a human trait.
