The alarm goes off and I hit the snooze and go back to bed. Then it goes off again and I hit the snooze again and go back to bed. It goes off a third time, and I hit it one more time. Finally, I realize I have 15 minutes to get out the door, so I take a very fast shower, brush my teeth and get dressed. I have no time to make coffee, so I grab my car keys, wallet and phone, bolt past the dogs, and hop in my car.
Answer:
D. Oversee.
Explanation:
The term officiate is a verb that means to take charge of something, either a ceremony or some event.
The synonym for the word 'officiate' is 'oversee.' In the sentence, the umpire is called to take charge of the championship game. Therefore, he was called to <em>oversee </em>the championship game.
Thus option D is correct.

Hi, not entirely sure what you're asking here but I'll give it a shot.
This is indeed an example of personification. "The flower of the day," an object which lacks human sentience and features, is poetically described here as taking actions typically taken by humans. Flowers don't usually sigh or sit down; humans do this. This is why this is an example of personification – since the flower is the one who is supposedly taking these humanoid actions.
Hope this helps.
