Question

Poetic Devices: Identify the poetic device used in the following line: "The wind whispered through the trees."

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

Hint:

Remember: Personification is when human qualities are attributed to non-human entities.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The line "The wind whispered through the trees" gives human qualities to the wind (it is described as whispering), which is an example of personification. In personification, human attributes are attributed to non-human things. 

Answer: Therefore, the poetic device used is personification. So, the correct answer is option (2).
