Answer:

I believe the correct answers for this question: which four lines in this excerpt from "Flight" by John Steinbeck contain personification, would be: A, B, C, and D.

Explanation:

The reason comes from understanding what personification means, and how it is applied in literature. Personification, is the technique that uses human characteristics, or human qualities, including abstract qualities, but that are unique to humans, to describe, or give them, to non-human subjects, or objects. In this way, sentences A, B, C and D, all make references to actions that are very human: like huddling and crouching, for sentence A, Five-fingered ferns, and spray from their fingertips, in sentence B, sighing, in sentence C and Whistling, in sentence D, all pertain to actions, or characteristics that are inherently human, and they are given to non-human objects, or subjects. That´s the reason for the choices I made.

Answer:

D). He is poised between two worlds but eager to be home.

Explanation:

As per the context(background) of the given passage, the author pairs verbs like 'balanced' along with 'leaped' to signal that although Altaf was composed under the two different worlds yet he wished to return to his home.

Wewaii [24]

I wish to partake in such immense scenery with unbiased vision.

To take in the strong aroma which has brought joy to many before me with such a ocean of flowers.

To hear the chirping of birds and the buzz of bees pollinating does me great joy.

I wish to hold this place; all its worth and beauty in such corrupted and dark hands, to feast on the many rewards this lavish land provides.

Read the three excerpts from Chapter 5 of Frankenstein.
raketka [301]

1. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.

-Personification is shown in this excerpt, specifically in the line "I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs." Because the author is giving human like characteristics to the light.

2. Mingled with this horror, I felt the bitterness of disappointment; dreams that had been my food and pleasant rest for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete!

- The line "for so long a space were now become a hell to me; and the change was so rapid, the overthrow so complete" uses a metaphor because the vents that take place aren't literally hell, but they are describing it in a way that makes it feels that way.
