Question

As she rushed into the classroom everyone turned to see Clara fumbling with a huge stack of books. “Please be careful Clara,” the teacher warned. Quickly she slammed her books on the top of her desk. “Clara, your books belong in your cubby,” Michelle whispered while all the students continued to sneak a peek at what was going on. Clara grabbed her giant stack of books and lifted them carefully this time. The old desk breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to adjust itself, and Clara carried her books to the back of the room where she found their home in a row of neat little cubbies. All of the students turned back to their work and made themselves as busy as bees. How is personification being used in the paragraph?

Answer 1

" The Old Desk Breathed A Sigh Of Relief " Desks Cannot Breathe , That Is The Example Of Personification

Answer 2

I don't see any choices but personification IS being used in the paragraph. Personification is giving human qualities to non human things, and so the personification example I saw in the paragraph would be ''The old desk breathed a sigh of relief and seemed to adjust itself'' and so this is the answer because school desks can't breathe air since they are NOT alive and they can't show emotions as well, so since the paragraph said this, its an example of personification.
