Answer:

<u>All of the above. The following lines in the excerpt from "Flight" by John Steinbeck contain personification:</u>

"The farm buildings huddled like the clinging aphids on the mountain skirts, crouched low to the ground as though the wind might blow them into the sea."

" Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips."

"The high mountain wind coasted sighing through the pass and whistled on the edges of the big blocks of broken granite."

"A scar of green grass cut across the flat. And behind the flat another mountain rose, desolate with dead rocks and starving little black bushes."

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device and a type of metaphor, in which the writer assigns a human or personal characteristic to something non-human like a nature element or an inanimate object. In the excerpt from "Flight", the author uses personification in the four fragments shown above, as in all of them the mountains, ferns and flats are described as performing human actions such as sighing, being desolated, cutting or even dropping.

Answer:

I couldn't exactly think of what to put down for the last part but for most teachers, this will pass. Everything else is good.

England was divided by social class. I think that this isn't fair and that this was indeed an issue. How does this connect to the text? This connects to the text because Mr. Bedford wanted to go to the Moon due to gold that would make "them" rich, and that being rich would help them in the industry while doing more and more things for even more money and a higher social class. This makes Mr. Bedford even more and more greedy for money and power, later on, this becomes a problem in the text while fighting the selenites. How does The First Men in the Moon alter history? Well, The First Men in the Moon alters history because the first transportation is now being a sphere, there are selenites in the Moon, and the time period in which these events took place are all altering history.
