Answer:

This is how

Explanation:

"Hunger, ever at hand to jog his elbow should he relax" is an example of personification as it gives the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

What this sentence actually means is that the man can't relax without hunger constantly interrupting said relaxation.

Despair, ready to engulf him should he falter.  

This means that the lost of hope, in this case probably death is going to occur if he loses the strength to continue. Another personification as Despair can't literally engulf people.

Fear; fear of the dark future; fear of the sharpness of hunger; fear of the blackness of death.  

"Dark Future" Could mean death or unknown and probably bitter future.

"fear of the sharpness of hunger" probably fear of starvation.

"fear of the blackness of death." This could mean the fear of dying alone, meaningless, and sorrow.

It includes a couple personifications such as "hunger, ever at hand to jog his elbow," "<span>despair, ready to engulf him." The former means that hunger is ready to make him shake if he relaxes, and the latter means that the despair is about to overwhelm him.</span>

Which of these is an example of an idiom?
Tanya [424]
Choice A. is an example of an idiom. Notice that it uses the words "his mood came out of left field." It's not to be taken literally. Idioms are expressions whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings.

Examples are:

"It's raining cats and dogs!"
- It's not literally raining cats and dogs like animals are falling from the sky. It means that the rain is heavy and it may refer to storm with winds.

"It costs me an arm and a leg."
- It doesn't really mean that you have to give up your body parts. It may refer to something so hard to get that you have to work really hard for it, causing your body to get tired and maybe it costs a lot that you need to give your body parts for it.

I hope you get it! :)
