Which sentence is an example of personification?

English
1 answer:
Zigmanuir [339]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

c. At four o’clock the tables folded like great butterflies back through the paneled walls.

Explanation:

Personification is when an inanimate object is given the characteristics of a living thing. This means that when something that is not alive like stones or wood are given living attributes, making them look like they are alive, is known as personification.

Among the given examples, personification is seen in the sentence about the tables. Here, the tables are personified as <em>"butterflies</em>", capable of folding themselves like butterflies. The speaker states that <em>"the tables folded like great butterflies"</em>, which is realistically impossible for a table to fold by itself.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

How did it make you feel to learn about that racism .
MariettaO [177]

This is best explained by examples

''what did you feel'' is talking about the past usually an objective experience.

Like asking what someone felt when they reached for something they lost.

ex: I dropped my keys behind the shelf and I reach for them, but can't see them. Someone will ask what did you feel if i'am just seraching for the keys with my hand.

"How did you feel" Usually more subjective

How someone felt about their test, performance, a job interview. Some kind of experience.

"How does it feel" It's in the present/ recent past.

Usually this is right after something happened. When I think of the phrase it's usually for some kind of medial treatment.

Example: You just cut your arm and your friend is putting on a bandage, while asking "how does it feel?"

This is usually used when someone gets hurt.

When it's not someone getting hurt maybe they are asking what a sensation feels like.

Example: you took an ice bath for the first time and get asked how does it feels?

Ah sorry this is hard to explain. Hope this helps a bit.

What tasks must Psyche perform for Venus? How are they accomplished?
MaRussiya [10]
After having Psyche whipped by Worry and Sadness and then mocking her for conceiving a child in a sham marriage, Venus ordered Psyche to sort out a great mass of mixed wheat, barley, poppyseed, chickpeas, and lentils, and  that she must do it by dawn. Venus then goes to a wedding feast, and a kind ant brings several other ants to do the work for her. Angry, Venus gives Psyche a crust of bread. Psyche then learns that Cupid is also in the house, suffering from his injury, sustained when Psyche spilled hot oil on him. 

Venus  then insists that Psyche cross a river and gather golden wool from some violent sheep belonging to the sun. Intending to drown herself, Psyche receives advice form a divinely inspired reed and gathers the wool caught on briers. 

The third task Venus gives Psyche is to collect water from the source of the River Styx in a crystal vial. Jupiter, moved by Psyche's plight, sends his own eagle to do the work for her. 

Finally, Venus sends Psyche to the Underworld to get some of Porsopina's beauty. Instructed how to go about this task by the tower from which Psyche was going to fling herself, Psyche retrieves the box from Porsopina, and is barely back in the light of day when she opens the box out of curiosity and ends up in a deep Stygian sleep. 

However, by this point, Cupid has healed and escaped his mother's house. He flies to Psyche, revives her, puts the sleep back into the box, and flies Psyche to present the box to Venus. 

<span>Jupiter then gives his blessing to the marriage, orders Venus to back off, and gives Psyche some ambrosia, allowing Psyche and Cupid to be wed as equals.</span>
