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 gives human traits to non - human things. Here, "water swallowed parts of the city" uses personification (swallowing is a human action). This implies that the water covered parts of the city, making them seem to disappear underwater. The first option about drinking water is not related to the personification's meaning, and the third option about levee construction is not suggested by the personification.

Answer:

B. Parts of the city disappeared underwater.
