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"
