○ the cat yawned after its nap.
○ the river flowed slowly.

○ the car sped down the road.
question 11 (1.5 points)
in the abcde formula that is discussed in our textbook, what does the \a\ stand for?
○ analyze
○ action
○ art
○ argue

Explanation:

Question 10

Personification is giving human traits to non - human things. "The sun smiled down at the earth" gives the sun (a non - human) the human action of smiling. The cat yawning is a normal cat action, the river flowing and the car speeding are normal non - human/object actions without personification.

In the ABCDE formula (often related to writing or analysis), "A" typically stands for "Analyze". "Action", "Art", and "Argue" do not fit the common definition of the ABCDE formula's "A".

Answer:

C. The sun smiled down at the earth
