Question

what does the personification in this text suggest?
johnny tried to ignore his unfinished essay, but it glared at him from across the room.
johnny thought he was being watched.
it bothered johnny that the essay wasnt finished.

Explanation:

Personification gives human traits to non - human things. The essay is given the human action of “glaring”. Johnny tried to ignore the essay, but the personified “glaring” shows that the unfinished essay was on his mind and bothered him. The first option about being watched is not the main implication of the personification of the essay glaring. The key is the essay's unfinished state bothering him.

Answer:

It bothered Johnny that the essay wasn't finished.
