Answer: B) "…as the sun arose, I saw it throwing off its nightly clothing of mist…"

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). From the given options, the sentence that contains a clear example of personification, is the corresponding to option B: "…as the sun arose, I saw it throwing off its nightly clothing of mist…" because it is saying that the sun (non human object) is throwing off its nightly clothing (human characteristic).

Letter B is correct, because it metaphorically describes the sun as "throwing off its nightly clothing of mist," which an inanimate object like the sun cannot do.

What is ironic about the way that the narrator treats Doodle?
Flauer [41]

Doodle (the baby) is treated in ironic way in many situations in the play "The Scarlet Ibis" by James Hurst. For example, when he is born his mother ask for the building of a coffin for him. This is rare because no mother expects his baby dies. Since the baby does not die, the coffin is stored. Another example of irnony is that "Brother" expects Doodle to learn how to walk and talk before he could be able to do it. Brother thinks this is a way to help his little brother but in the process he pushes Doodle so hard that the young boy dies.

The big irony is that when they expected the baby dies he lived and when Doodle is forced to perform the above mentioned activities, he dies. Probably Doodle would have lived longer if everyone accepted him as he was.
