Question

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

Explanation:

Personification gives human traits to non - human things. Here, the essay is given the human action of “glaring”. Glaring is a way of looking that can make someone feel watched or bothered. The first option about large type has nothing to do with the personification of the essay glaring. The second option says Tyler thought he was being watched, but the personification is about the essay's effect on Tyler's feeling about the unfinished essay. The third option, “It bothered Tyler that the essay wasn't finished”, makes sense because the essay “glaring” at him shows that the unfinished essay is on his mind and bothering him.

Answer:

It bothered Tyler that the essay wasn't finished.
