Answer:

C.

Explanation:

So before we go into why C. is the correct answer, we need the definition of personification. To put it simply; giving an object thoughts, feelings, movement, or voice that it wouldn't ordinarily have.

It can't be A because there is no mention of an object, and could be a quote, or someone writing something down.

It can't be B because it specifically says "SHE". If a description or sentence gives you a gender, it most likely means that the thing is question is alive, except in very rare cases.

And it can't be D because again, they specify "HE".

Which leaves you with C. In C, they say;

The <u>ENGINE SHRIEKED ANGRILY</u>

Right there, it's your first clue. They use a noun, for an object, and they give this engine an emotion and a voice.

It also personifies the sand, saying,

As the wheels made the <u>sand jump and dance.</u>

Here, it also gives the sand a life. Like I said before, movement that an object(s) won't normally have can also be personification.

Good luck!
