Answer:

- "A large wave caught him and flung him with ease and supreme speed completely over the boat and far beyond it."

Explanation:

Personification is demonstrated as the literary device or figurative language that is employed to provide human traits or characteristics to an inanimate object or an idea. It primarily intends to bring life to the inanimate objects in order to propose a more clear and comprehensive understanding to the readers in an artistic or creative way.

In the given passage from "The Open Boat" written by Stephen Crane, 'A large wave....beyond it' is the sentence that employs personification as here the inanimate natural object 'wave' is personified and given human qualities/character traits('caught him and flung him..ease'). <em>The personification clarifies the perspective to the readers and make it convenient for them to associate to the idea.</em>
