Circle the incorrect pronoun shift. Rewrite the sentence correctly.

English

LiRa [457]1 year ago

The incorrect pronoun shift in the sentence is found in the use of "their," since it is a plural pronoun referring to the singular word "someone," seen below.

<h3>What is a pronoun shift?</h3>

A pronoun shift is a change in the use of pronouns. We have an incorrect pronoun shift when the pronoun does not correctly refer back to the word it is replacing.

That is the case in the sentence we are analyzing here. The word "someone" is singular. Therefore, if we are to use a pronoun or another word to refer to it, it should also be singular. However, the possessive adjective "their" is plural, which means its use is incorrect.

To correct the sentence, we could do the following:

  • Someone left his or her backpack in the library.

Giving none living things human traits in poetry is known as ?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Personification.

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech that allows authors to give human qualities or characteristics to objects, animals, or even ideas. By doing so, they make their writing more descriptive, poetic, and imaginative.  It is quite common to see personification in poetry. Also, fables rely greatly on personification since they are stories in which animals talk and display human behavior.

An example of personification would be describing "the wind sang outside my window as the night grew colder." The wind cannot literally sing but, by saying so, the writer makes it seem as if the wind has a mind of its own, as if it can act in a human way and convey feelings.
