Explanation:

Personification is giving human - like qualities to non - human things. In the sentence "as its golden fingertips pressed her lids open and wound their way through her hair", the sun (a non - human entity) is described as having "fingertips" and performing actions like "pressed" and "wound" which are human - like actions.

Answer:

"as its golden fingertips pressed her lids open and wound their way through her hair" (Here, the sun is personified as having fingertips and performing human - like actions of pressing and winding through hair)
