Answer 1

Answer: B

Personification is giving human attributes to an object. In order to do that, the poet must have an idea of how they want to portray an object by indirectly comparing it using a human action. The poet must create a mood with the personification and stir some emotion or understanding in the reader which is why they need to have a good idea of how the object would feel or act
