Answer: <em>A simile. </em>

Explanation:

Smilies are exaggerative phrases used to describe things in greater details by comparing two unrelated (to a certain degree) things. They must use words such as "like" or "as" to show the connection is not literal. It is not a simile if there are no connection words, and instead the exaggerative nature is assumed and implied from the context clues. An example of a context clue could be the absurdity of a comparison.

weeeeeb [17]

The answer is: The personification makes the setting more vivid to the reader.

Figurative language is a nonliteral, metaphorical or symbolic choice of words,  and personification occurs when something nonhuman possesses human qualities, or when an abstract attribute takes human shape.

In the passage from "Morte d'Arthur," by Alfred Lord Tennyson, personification is used to offer readers a more forceful or powerful description of the scene. For example, <em>mighty bones, the wind-sea sang shrill</em> and <em>flakes of foam.</em>
