Question
Which of the following is an example of personification?
- The flowers smiled and danced in the garden
- Your beauty is that of a rose
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 flowers smiled and danced in the garden
The correct answer is "The flowers smiled and danced in the garden".
Among the two options given, only the first one shows the flowers - like a happy human being - smiling and dancing in the garden. Here, the flowers - a non-living thing - have been provided with personal attributes - smiling and dancing - and thus, the sentence is expressing the simple meaning of the beauty of the flowers being tossed in the air, but in a more ornamental and aesthetic manner. So, the correct answer is "The flowers smiled and danced in the garden".
