English

Answer:

Personification, if you're talking about figurative language.

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device that gives human-like qualities to something like an inanimate object, idea, or substance that doesn't have one in real life. In this case, silence, the subject of the sentence, cannot physically rule over the land. It can only do so figuratively and with a different meaning. In this phrase, silence "reigned" over the land means that the environment being described was very quiet.

I wonder if animals actually understands ppl maybe maybe not
Burka [1]

This question is rather old but I always make up a new answer when I scroll by it >w<

Animals can in fact understand us humans and other animals. They show this by reactin to us with body movements and sounds. I don’t believe that they understand our language, but they understand our tone of voice and behavior. Aka, why we are able to train animals :)
