Question
What is the meaning of this personification?
"The stairs groaned as we walked on them."
- The stairs were slippery when they walked.
- The stairs cracked open when they walked.
- The stairs squeaked when they walked.
Hint:
Personification means giving an object human traits or feelings. When you personify an object, animal, or anything else that’s not human in your writing, you make that “thing” feel more
human. Read the sentence and identify the object which is doing something human.
The correct answer is: The stairs squeaked when they walked.
In the given sentence, the object "stairs" does the human action "groaned". Groaning means to make a low, creaking sound. Thus the most appropriate and correct answer is option c.
