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"

How can rhetoric can affect you life in the business world?
Oduvanchick [21]
It can affect your life in the business world in a lot of ways. If you have good rhetoric, you're more likely to be hired and you'll probably perform better since you'd be more persuasive and eloquent.

If you have poor rhetoric, you're probably less likely to be hired because you don't know the vocabulary or you're not very persuasive. You also might perform poorly (for instance if you had to sell something and you didn't have good speech)
