Question

what does the personification in this text suggest? during hurricane katrina in 2005, the levees and flood walls that had been built to protect the city of new orleans broke, and water swallowed parts of the city. people in the city didnt have water to drink. parts of the city disappeared underwater. the levees were poorly built.

Explanation:

Personification is giving human traits to non - human things. In the sentence, "water swallowed parts of the city", "swallowed" is a human action. This implies that parts of the city were covered by water, i.e., disappeared underwater. The first option about not having water to drink is not related to the personification here, and the third option about levees being poorly built is also not suggested by the personification.

Answer:

Parts of the city disappeared underwater.
