Question

Identify the figure of speech used in the sentence:
"The wind whispered through the trees."

• A. Simile
• B. Metaphor
• C. Personification
• D. Hyperbole

Hint:

• Simile Compares two unlike things using "like" or "as" (e.g., "brave as a lion").
• Metaphor Directly compares two unlike things without using "like" or "as," stating one thing is another (e.g., "Her eyes were stars").
• Personification Gives human traits to non-human things.
• Hyperbole An exaggerated statement not meant to be taken literally (e.g., "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse").

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Personification is a figure of speech in which human qualities or abilities are attributed to inanimate objects or abstract ideas. In the sentence, the wind (an inanimate natural force) is described as "whispering," which is a human action.
