Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of The Travels of Marco Polo. This, then, I would have you know, is how they are made. They are

built of the wood called spruce and of fir. They have one deck; and above this deck, in most ships, are at least sixty cabins, each of which can comfortably accommodate one merchant. They have one steering-oar and four masts. Often they add another two masts, which are hoisted and lowered at pleasure. The entire hull is of double thickness: that is to say, one plank is fastened over the top of another, and this double planking extends all the way round. It is caulked outside and in, and the fastening is done with iron nails. What is the author's purpose for writing this text? to entertain readers by describing travels on a ship to inform readers about how ships are built to persuade readers that they should build ships to educate readers about how they can build their own ships

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips.

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device in which human characteristics are attributed to something non-human. It is present in the following sentence: <em>Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips. </em>

Ferns are plants. When someone mentions fingers and fingertips, we usually think about human hands. Ferns can't have fingers. The writer is talking about their leaves but uses personification to compare them to fingers, this way giving them a human trait.
