CAN YOU ALSO POST THE EXAMPLE PLEASE
You put quotes around the title of a book, story, article, book...anything really.
A is your BEST choice.
A) Thunder can only make noise. It's emphasizing that the thunder is performing the action to roar.
Outside of this question, some may not consider this as a personification. The question is asking you for the BEST example (reasonable).
B) Jump is a verb. A fish can jump out of water.
C) Timers do ring. A telephone rings. Simple.
D) Quiet is just describing evenings.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
Think of a very loud, sharp, shrill sound - a shriek, or an emergency siren would probably be some of the better examples. The word piercing has somewhat negative connotations - it would be best used for imagery during a scene where there's a lot going on and the writer wants to draw attention to This Specific Thing that's happening.
"A piercing scream echoed throughout the room, drawing all eyes to the source of the sound."
