Question
Which of the following sentences is an example of personification?
- The rays of the sun shined brightly across the plains.
- The rays of the sun stretched its golden arms across the plains.
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 rays of the sun stretched its golden arms across the plains.
The correct answer is "The rays of the sun stretched its golden arms across the plains".
Among the two options given, only the second one shows the sun to be a human being with arms. Here, the sun - a non-living thing - has been provided with personal attributes - stretching arms - and thus, the sentence is expressing the same meaning as that of the first option, but in a more ornamental and aesthetic manner. So, the correct answer is "The rays of the sun stretched its golden arms across the plains".
