Question

1. the author describes nippers reaction to his new coat using— a. personification b. symbol c. meiosis d. simile

Explanation:

Personification is giving human - like qualities to non - human things. If Nipper is a non - human entity and the author gives it human - like reactions, it's personification. A symbol represents something else. Meiosis is a biological process and not a literary device. A simile compares two things using "like" or "as".

Answer:

A. personification
