Question

what does the personification in this text suggest? while the plumber was under the sink fiddling with the pipes, the drain burped up a spray of brown water. the drain noisily released some water. the plumber burped.

Explanation:

Personification gives human traits to non - human things. Here, the drain is given the human action of “burping”. “Burping” implies a noisy release, and the drain releasing water (spray of brown water) is what's being described. The plumber burping is incorrect as the burping is attributed to the drain.

Answer:

The drain noisily released some water.
