Question

what does the personification in this text suggest? during hurricane katrina in 2005, the levees and flood walls that had been built to protect the city of new orleans broke, and water swallowed parts of the city. the levees were poorly built. parts of the city disappeared underwater. people in the city didnt have water to drink.

Explanation:

Personification gives human traits to non-humans. Here, "water swallowed" uses the human action of swallowing to describe how floodwater completely covered parts of New Orleans, meaning those areas were submerged. The other options do not connect to the meaning of this personified phrase.

Answer:

Parts of the city disappeared underwater.
