SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: The example of personification is in the sentence: He struggled up to the surface and tried to cry out, but the <u>wash from the speeding yacht slapped him in the face</u> and the salt water in his open mouth made him gag and strangle.

Explanation:  The ability to <u>slap</u> someone in the face is a human characteristic.

Another possible example:

There was a chance that his cries could be heard by someone aboard the yacht, but that <u>chance was slender and grew more slender </u>as the yacht raced on.

Slender is an adjective usually used to describe a person's waist or arms. The word is also used to describe other things such as "a slender majority of voters" or "a slender chance of winning"

<span>The beginning of an MLA citation is "lastname, firstname". B and C don't follow this, so you can eliminate them. Then you notice at the end of the citation, the pages cited has to be preceded by a "pp". Choice A doesn't follow that, so we can also eliminate that choice. The remaining choice "D" is a correct citation.
