The answer is C due to the definition of personification. The author is giving the wind a human action “howling”. A and D are essentially saying the same thing. The night is being compared to an ANIMAL (cat), so it can’t be PERSONification. B) pairing the night and stars also doesn’t make sense as personification

Answer:

Well the definition of personification is

the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

I think the answer is D.

because the night is being given human qualities making it seem like a character by saying it's like a cat, I can see that the wind is being portrayed as the breath and the stars are being portrayed as the "ravenous eyes"

How are the sentence patterns for asking questions different from the sentence patterns for making statements
AleksandrR [38]
In the sentence pattern for asking questions, the subject is placed immediately after the operator (Operator [did, does, was] + Subject) while in the sentence pattern for making statements, the subject is placed before the verb phrase (Subject + VP). However, some statements may be in question form (You've already eaten?) and some questions (such as rhetorical ones) may be in statement form (Haven't you peed already?).

andre [41]
The correct answer is <span>3. The path through the park had been worn smooth by countless visitors: by tribes of passing children, by families with picnic baskets, by hikers with their dogs.
In the example above, you need to use a colon to separate these two parts of the sentence. The reason why you should use a colon instead of a comma is because you are listing these 'countless visitors,' including children, families, and hikers. So you are creating a list of people and animals who visit the park, and in order to do that, you ought to use a colon instead of a comma.
