Read these lines of poetry:

The wind shook the branches,
scared the birds in their nest.
And the dancing leaves warned everyone
of the storm as it came from the west.

Which line contains an example of personification?

A.
"And the dancing leaves warned everyone"

B.
"The wind shook the branches,"

C.
"scared the birds in their nest."

D.
"of the storm as it came from the west."



Answer :

personification is giving human characteristics to something non-human so the answer is A because leaves can't dance :)
The answer is A because its giving the object an action. For example, the stars danced playfully in the moonlit sky. Its giving the object an action that it wouldn;t normally do. Personification is when you assign the qualities of a person to something that isn't human or, in some cases, to something that isn't even alive
