Answer:

C. Section 55 - Her mind was still on the ball. His mind was on work the next day.​

Explanation:

As one of Maupassant's themes is the "differences between men and women", we see that option C is the only reference that actually shows the contrast.

The above option which shows the contrast is actually referring to the differences between a man and a woman. In option C, we see that "Her mind was still on the ball" and while "His mind was on work the next day".

The reference tends to show the difference mindsets the man and the woman have.

What is an example of personification?
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

c. The mist rolled over the trees in the mountains.

Explanation:

A figures of speech is also referred to as figurative language and it can be defined as a deliberate and specific construction or use of language by writers, authors or speakers to create a special effect in their speech or literary work (write-ups).

In English literature, the main purpose of the figures of speech (figurative language) is to convey more information and enable the readers or listeners have a deeper understanding of a literary work. Some examples of the figures of speech (figurative language) used in literature are simile, paradox, metaphor, apostrophe, hyperbole, personification, etc.

Personification involves intentionally attributing life, human characteristics (qualities) or feelings and emotions to inanimate objects i.e non-living things.

<em>An example of personification is saying, the mist rolled over the trees in the mountains. Thus, the object or thing which was personified is "mist" because it is an inanimate object (a non-living thing) but was being described as rolling over the trees.</em>

<em>In reality, inanimate objects (non-living things) such as mist, balloons, tables, pencils, chair, wrist-watch, etc., do not possess the ability to roll.</em>
