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"

List four things that are not required to be cited in your writing
Daniel [21]
I can't think of four things but I was always taught to always cite everything. Even if you think something is an original idea or phrase, look it up and make sure and if someone else has said that just put it in your work cited because that could be considered plagiarism. Also always cite direct quotes

The boy with the yellow hair ran home.<br> a. adjective<br> b. adverb
Mashcka [7]
As for this problem, the answer would be most probably and most likely to be A. adjective.

The sentence that says "the boy with the yellow hair ran home" is a simple sentence. Adjectives describe nouns and pronouns while adverbs describe the verbs, other adjectives, and other adverbs. As you can notice, the yellow would be describing the hair of the boy and the phrase "with the yellow hair" pertains to the boy. So the most probable answer to this question would be A. adjective.
