Using Figurative Language to Make Meaning I walked back there that evening and checked on the beans. They'd picked themselves up and were looking fine. —Seedfolks Paul Fleischman How does the author’s use of personification help you better understand the text? It shows that the plants are healthier. It shows that the plants are dying in the sun. It shows that the plants had too much water. It shows that someone needs to take better care of the plants.

The beans had picked themselves up. Meaning the stem of the plant (the shoot) has started growing upwards.

Looking fine - meaning the plant leaves had a green healthy complexion.

This shows that the plants are healthier (than previous would have to look at the text).

Answer:

Personification means it has traits only humans have

"The beans picked themselves up and were looking fine" means that the plants are healthier because when something has a good posture and is standing up tall it is better. It also says looking fine so it looks better than before.

The other options are negative so those aren't the answers

Hope this helps
