Question
Which of the following is an example of personification?
- The car is in the shed
- The car complained as the key was roughly turned in its ignition
Hint:
Personification is a figure of speech where non-living things and those living creatures except for human beings are treated as a person. It is an ornamental use of language to impose humane features and personal attributes on non-humans.
The correct answer is: The car complained as the key was roughly turned in its ignition
The correct answer is "The car complained as the key was roughly turned in its ignition".
Among the two options given, only the first one shows the car - like an annoyed human being - complaining against its rough handling. Here, the car - a non-living thing - have been provided with personal attributes - complaining against something it dislikes - and thus, the sentence is expressing the simple meaning of the problem faced by it due to rough turning of the key in its ignition, but in a more ornamental and aesthetic manner. So, the correct answer is "The car complained as the key was roughly turned in its ignition".
