English

Answer:

I do not believe mermaids exist.

Explanation:

I do not believe mermaids exist because of the biological incompatibility of the two systems. There would firstly be duplication of organs from the human-fish combination. Secondly, the skeletal structures would clash and create more incompatibilities. Thirdly, the structure of a lung would not work. Gills would not be able to work with the body structures of a mermaid.

Also, a mermaid would need to have fragments of fish DNA. DNA has very strong barriers across species. It is difficult for anything larger than a bacteria to take in any DNA from another species. The fish DNA and making it apply to only the legs would be impractical. If a human was to evolve to live in water, it would not evolve into a mermaid.

“Night climbed the horizon like a cat on the prowl; Its breath was the wind that began to howl, The piercing stars were its rave
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Well the definition of personification is

the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

I think the answer is D.

because the night is being given human qualities making it seem like a character by saying it's like a cat, I can see that the wind is being portrayed as the breath and the stars are being portrayed as the "ravenous eyes"
