Question

Which of the following is an example of personification?

  1. The moon was brighter today
  2. The moon played hide and seek with the clouds.

hintHint:

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 moon played hide and seek with the clouds.


    The correct answer is "The moon played hide and seek with the clouds".
    Among the two options given, only the second one shows the moon - like a happy and active child - playing hide and seek with the clouds. Here, the moon - a non-living thing - has been provided with personal attributes - playing hide and seek - and thus, the sentence is expressing the simple meaning of the phenomenon of the moon being occasionally covered by the passing clouds, but in a more ornamental and aesthetic manner. So, the correct answer is "The moon played hide and seek with the clouds".
