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.

Read this sentence from “The Gift of the Magi” and answer the question.
Ugo [173]

Answer:

I think it is c but I am not positive

Explanation:

I know it is not a or b because if you have ever read gift of the magi you will understand that this has nothing to do with the underlying conflict. I believe it to be c because if you once again have ever read the short story she is very upset because she can't get a great gift for her husband.

Please let me know if this helped or not
