Question

The sun thought for a minute. The wind was listening closely, and wanted to tell every corner of the world that the sun’s wisdom had its limitations.”

The author uses ___.
similes
metaphors
personification
hyperbole

Answer 1

The author is using 'personification', which means bringing inanimate things to life. So, 'the wind is listening, and wants to tell something' - the wind cannot do that unless an author provides it with that ability through personification.
