Language is  a system of signs represrnting ideas to convey a message. Those symbols, which are words can be arbitrary, ambiguous, abstract representations of other phenomena. Words are not intrinsically connected to what they represent. Meanings of words can shift over time. The arbitrary character allows us to invent new words.

Language is ruled guided, simply put, verbal communication is guided by unspoken but broadly understood rules.

So I would say that option A, C and D are correct.

Meanwhile, I think that option B is incorrect since a mean of communication is understood as the tool and technology employed in order to convey a message, exchange information, ideas.

I would say that all of these options can be applied to languages. Language is a system of signs representing ideas - we have our letters, or characters in Asian languages that help us write down what we want to express. B is also correct because when you communicate, be it verbal or nonverbal communication, you are using a form of a language. C is also correct because all languages have been made up by someone. D is also true because all languages have some kind of rules that govern them.

Personification in Walk Two Moons. List the chapter along with the personification.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

I assume you need to find an example of personification in the novel. Here is a complete sentence with the personification in bold: "During the week before we left, the  sound of the wind was hurry, hurry, hurry, and at night even the silent  darkness whispered rush, rush, rush." This example is from Chapter 2. The Chickabiddy Starts a Story.

Explanation:

Personification is <u>a figure of speech that ascribes human features or qualities to non-human things - animals, objects, or notions</u>. In this example, we have darkness as a non-human notion. Yet it whispers, which only humans can do. By using a personification here, the author enlivens the scene, producing a memorable dramatic effect.
