Answer:

Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips.

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device in which human characteristics are attributed to something non-human. It is present in the following sentence: <em>Five-fingered ferns hung over the water and dropped spray from their fingertips. </em>

Ferns are plants. When someone mentions fingers and fingertips, we usually think about human hands. Ferns can't have fingers. The writer is talking about their leaves but uses personification to compare them to fingers, this way giving them a human trait.

According to the Introduction, who encouraged Mary Shelley to expand Frankenstein into a full-length novel?
Andrews [41]
Answer: D. Percy Bysshe Shelley

Mary Shelley's husband was none other than Percy Bysshe Shelley. They are both writers, though Mary wrote novels whereas Percy wrote poems. Naturally, the two supported each other in their literary efforts and found inspiration in their daily discussions. One conversation in particular between Lord Byron and Percy was about the subject of Galvanism, and Mary was drawn into it after overhearing them speak. Mary was intrigued by the idea of Galvanism (which is the process of using electric current to stimulate muscle movement), and she was inspired to write a short story. When she showed her work to Percy, he encouraged her to continue writing, expanding her short story into a full novel. The idea that someone could be caused to move simply by electricity gave her the idea to create a fictional monster, born of this technique. Today, we know this monster as "the creature," from Mary's novel <em>Frankenstein.</em><em>
