Question

what does the personification in this text suggest? while the plumber was under the sink fiddling with the pipes, the drain burped up a spray of brown water. the pipes broke suddenly. the drain noisily released some water.

Explanation:

Personification gives human traits to non - human things. Here, "burped" is a human action. A burp is a noisy release of gas from a person, so applying it to the drain means the drain noisily released water. The first option about pipes breaking suddenly has nothing to do with the personification of the drain.

Answer:

The drain noisily released some water.
