Question

select the sentence that uses personification.
we gazed in wonder as we witnessed the international space station shooting across the dark sky.
the old air conditioner started up as soon as mrs. avila pushed the button on the remote.
the violinist made his instrument cry out the harrowing melody.

Explanation:

Personification is giving human traits to non - human things. In the first sentence, the space station's movement is described realistically. In the second, the air conditioner's start is a normal action. In the third, the instrument (non - human) is given the human action of "crying out", which is personification.

Answer:

The violinist made his instrument cry out the harrowing melody.
