Question

Which sentence contains both a simile and personification?

Answer 1

Answer:

The sentence that contains both a simile and personification is the following one: My baseball glove wrapped itself around the ball like a mother holding her child.

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech in which a thing, an idea or animal, is given human characteristics.  In the sentence above, the baseball glove is portrayed as if it were able to wrap itself around the ball but it is not possible since gloves do not have volition to do so.

A simile is also a figure of speech but it makes a comparison, showing similarities between two different things. It is an explicit comparison because it makes use of the words like and as. In this case, it has been introduced by the word like (like a mother holding her child) and it compares the way the glove wrap itself around the ball to the loving way a mother holds her child.

Answer 2

The last one!

"My baseball glove wrapped itself around the ball like a mother holding her child."
