Which of the excerpts is an example of personification? A Well, son, I'll tell you:/ Life for me ain't been no crystal stair./ I
t's had tacks in it,/ And splinters,/ And boards torn up,/ And places with no carpet on the floors/ Bare. B I'd love to take a poem to lunch/ or treat it to a wholesome brunch/ of fresh cut fruit and apple crunch. C I wandered lonely as a cloud/ That floats on high o'er vales and hills,/ When all at once I saw a crowd,/ A host, of golden daffodils; D The Moon's a snowball. See the drifts/ Of white that cross the sphere./ The Moon's a snowball, melted down/ A dozen times a year.
B) I'd love to take a poem to lunch/ or treat it to a wholesome brunch/ of fresh cut fruit and apple crunch.
