The personification is: “deathly oppressive silence hangs over the house and clings to me as if it were going to drag me into the deepest regions of the underworld”
The extended metaphor is the line from “I wonder from room to room” to “a voice within me cries”, so the last 7 lines (sorry I didn’t feel like writing the quote out).
Anne is forced to stay in the house/attic every day to avoid being discovered. The attic itself is cramped and stuffy, especially with the 8 other people living there. She feels like a caged animal (a caged songbird in this case) because she is never allowed into the outside world.
I think it's A. It is definally not the climax as this happens when Beowulf kills the monster. It's not the resolution either as it is the first part of the text. Also, exposition seems a little unrelated.
Examples are the
following:
<span>1. </span>Tessie
is upset (line 243) and repeats that the drawing isn’t fair (lines 259-260).
<span>2. </span>The Hutchins’s
household’s papers are collected and put back into the box (lines 261-262)
<span>3. </span>Each
member of the household draws another slip (lines 271-287).
C it makes the most sense
