Explanation:

Part A:

Personification here applies to the clay, as the poem focuses on the clay responding to the potter's actions with compliance, a human-like trait. The other options focus on unrelated objects (tree, wheel, clothing) not central to the poem's core personification of the material being shaped.

Part B:

Line 5 shows the clay (the object of the potter's work) following human movement, a human-like action. Line 27 uses "obey," a human behavior, to describe the clay's compliance with the potter's touch, directly supporting the personification of the clay from Part A. The other lines describe sound, imagery, or attire, not the clay's human-like responsiveness.

Answer:

Part A:

D. The poet gives the clay human qualities to show that it is compliant with the potter's demands

Part B:

B. "Follows the motion of my hand;" (line 5)
F. "And even his slightest touch obey." (line 27)
