Answer 1

Answer: D) Personification reinforces the theme that everything is connected.

In the given excerpt we can see an example of personification when it says that the wind and heavens (non human objects) speak back to the boy (human characteristic). This personification reinforces the theme that everything is connected (the boy is connected to the elements).
