Question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

Answer 1

Personification, my hands hungry

Answer 2

Answer: A) Alliteration and C) personification.

Explanation: alliteration is a literary device that consists in the repetition of the beginning sounds of consecutive words, or words that are close to each other. Personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). In the given excerpt we can see an example of personification in the phrase "my hands hungry" because it is giving the hands (non human objects) the ability to be hungry (human characteristic). This phrase is also an example of alliteration because of the repetition of the "h" sound at the beginning of the words "hands" and "hungry."
