Question

read the sentence and identify the type of figurative language used in it.
the tall tree wept as the lumbermen entered the woods.
○ hyperbole
○ metaphor
○ simile
○ personification

Explanation:

Personification is a figurative language that gives human traits, actions, or emotions to non-human things. In the sentence, "wept" is a human action attributed to a tree, which is a non-human object. Hyperbole is extreme exaggeration, a metaphor makes a direct comparison without "like" or "as", and a simile uses "like" or "as" to compare two things, none of which match the sentence.

Answer:

personification
