Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). In the given sentence we can see an example of personification because it is giving the night-wind (non human object) the ability to breathe (human characteristic). So from the given options, the one that expresses the figure of speech that is in the sentence, is the corresponding to option E: personification.
What they want you to do is to select one of the given prompts that they have written out for you. Either Prompt One or Prompt Two.
If I were to choose Prompt One, I would follow the instruction as given. I would Google or otherwise find and read an American short story and also a historical document as they have told me to. Once I read them both, I would proceed to follow the instruction and compare and contrast both pieces of writing with a paragraph or two as they have told me to do at the beginning.
Basically, they want you to read and write a compare and contrast little bit.
