<span>The correct answer is D. danced. Personification is a figure of speech in which inanimate objects or animals get human characteristics. So, obviously, a cell phone cannot really dance, but humans can, so if you use that verb to show that a mobile phone started ringing, then it's a personification because you assigned it human qualities that objects do not normally possess.</span><span />

Answer: mistreated him
Explanation:
The excerpt explicitly states that Tom´s aunt has mistreated him when Tom imagines what his aunt´s reaction would be if he died. He imagines her promising "she would never, never abuse him anymore", indicating that she has mistreated him before. Although Tom’s aunt and guardian love her nephew, she struggles to discipline him, which seems to have taken her to mistreat him throughout his life.

As there is no question included with this quote, I will focus on explaining what the quote means.
This quote comes from <em>The Scarlet Letter</em> by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The quote is included in the scene where Chillingworth and Hester meet again. The two of them talk about their past relationship, and end on a relatively amicable note. However, Chillingworth asks Hester not to reveal his true identity. Hester accepts, but she is then surprised at the expression on Chillingworth's face. She worries that his smile is evidence of the fact that she has entered an agreement that does not benefit her, and that will prove to be "the ruin of [her] soul."
