Which excerpt from Leslie Marmon Silko’s story "The Man to Send Rain Clouds" contains an example of personification?
A.The priest approached the grave slowly, wondering how they had managed to dig into the frozen ground. . . .
B.His fingers were stiff, and it took him a long time to twist the lid off the holy water.
C.The wind pulled the priest’s brown Franciscan robe and swirled away the corn meal and pollen that had been sprinkled on the blanket.
D. He felt good because it was finished, and he was happy about the sprinkling of the holy water. . . .
Answer:
C.The wind pulled the priest’s brown Franciscan robe and swirled away the corn meal and pollen that had been sprinkled on the blanket.
Explanation:
Personification is the literary element that gives human attributes to inanimate objects.
The wind is not a living thing but it is depicted as pulling down the priest's Franciscan robe and swirling away the corn meal and pollen that were already sprinkled on the blanket.
Personification in summary is using human attributes like walking, laughing, crying, singing, etc to depict non living things.
The figurative language used is a metaphor. A flashback refers to a previous event and there's no indication of Orwell referring to any previous events in this sentence. An oxymoron is when contradictory words are used in a conjunction such as faith unfaithful kept him falsely true. The word usage in this sentence isn't contradictory as it flows well in this sentence. A euphemism is a nice way to say a bothering statement. The sentence isn't any sort of bad claim, so the option of a euphemism is out of the question. A metaphor compares two things without using the words "like" or "as". In this sentence, Orwell compares advertising to the rattling of a stick inside of a swill-bucket. This makes metaphor the correct answer. Hope this helped :))
