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. people in the city didnt have water to drink. parts of the city disappeared underwater. the levees were poorly built.
The personification here is "water swallowed parts of the city" (giving water the human action of swallowing). The first option is about drinking water, not related to the personification's implication. The third option is about levee construction, not the effect of the water's "swallowing". The phrase "water swallowed parts of the city" suggests that those parts were covered by water, i.e., disappeared underwater.
