The sentence <em>The cat ate the rat </em>contains a direct object.
<em>The cat </em>is the subject, <em>ate </em>is the verb, <em>the rat </em>is the direct object.
Personification is a figure of speech where human qualities are give to animals, objects or ideas.
Two examples of sky turned to personification :
1. The sun glared down at me from <span>sky.
2. T</span><span>he stars danced playfully in the moonlit </span>sky.
With my school experience I would have to say B, because a transitive verb has to be an action verb and express a doable activity. An example would be: Sylvia KICKED Juan under the table.
Thank you, I hope you have a good morning as well!
