Which sentence from the passage makes something seem human? A. This left a cut carved into the shore that looked like a bad autograph. B.

Mary wanted to write her entire name into the Earth that way one day.

Answer 1

C. The mighty waves threw themselves angrily against the shore's jaw. is your best answer.

The question is asking "Which sentence... makes something seem human..." this suggests the use of personification. This means that you'll have to find a sentence that gives human traits to a non-human.

In this case, waves is the "non-human", with the human trait of "throwing themselves angrily". Waves don't "throw themselves" or be "angry", rather, it is human traits being used to describe how the waves were.
