Answer: The answer here is a Compound Sentence.
Explanation: A Compound Sentence is simply two sentences in one. If you take away the FANBOY (Coordinating Conjunction) out of the sentence, you're left with two separate and complete simple sentences.
No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
The sentence given above is grammatically correct. The answer is option a. True. It is grammatically correct because the subject agrees with the verb used in the sentence. The subject is people, which is modified with the word "some", is in the plural form; therefore, the verb that should be used is also plural which is "are".
You think it might be personification?
It would be to define the essay's purpose.
