Which figure of speech is used in this text?

A Chicago winter separates the men from the boys, especially newcomers from milder climes. The temperature frequently plunges below zero.

Answer 1

Personification because temperature cannot literally plunge

Answer 2

Answer: Personification

Step-by-step explanation:

Plunged is personification. Temperature cannot REALLY plunge, as it is not a person, it is a thing. I did something similar. Ex: Dagger plunges into his heart.
