The figure of speech used in the sentence above is PERSONIFICATION. 
Personification is a figure of speech which attributes personal nature or human characteristics to an inanimate objects. In the sentence given above, the author wrote that 'the wind whispers and the stream giggles. These are actions that only human beings can carry out, but the author is given the attributes to wind and stream, which are inanimate objects.

The author uses personification - attribution of human traits to non-human objects, beings or abstract notions. In this case, the author says that "the wind whispers" and "the stream giggles" - neither the wind can whisper, nor the stream can giggle. Only humans can do these things. But by using this literary device, the author enriches the text and provides a vivid and imaginative description of what is going on.

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

here is explanation below

Explanation:

Digital media use some techniques and mechanism such as compulsive checking to keep people hooked. The technique seem persuasive as it continuously gets to make people to keep returning on regular basis.

Highlight the preposition in the sentence below.<br> Joey Tribbiani is rooting for the other team.
Sav [38]

The preposition in the sentence - Joey Tribbiani is rooting for the other team is-" for"

A preposition is a word or phrase that appears before a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase to indicate direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object. Prepositions include words like "in," "at," "on," "of," and "to." English prepositions are highly idiomatic. Although there are some usage rules, many prepositions are dictated by fixed expressions. In these cases, memorize the phrase rather than the individual preposition.

Prepositions are typically found at the end of a sentence, but before a noun or pronoun. Prepositions do not have a specific form. The majority of prepositions are one-word phrases, but complex-prepositions are two- or three-word phrases.
