Question

Identify the literary device in the sentence: "Time crawled as she waited for the results."

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

Hint:

Personification assigns human traits to non-human things to create vivid imagery.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The sentence gives human-like behavior ("crawled") to time, which is not human. This is a classic case of personification.

- Simile uses “like” or “as”.
- Metaphor makes a direct comparison.
- Irony involves a contrast between expectation and reality.
