Question

1. which sentence uses personification? the tiger purred like my cat. wheres the wicked witch? the woman looked as if she were 1,000 years old. the fire hungrily ate the house.

Explanation:

Personification is giving human - like qualities to non - human things. In "The fire hungrily ate the house", the fire is given the human quality of hunger and the action of eating, which are not natural to fire. The other sentences do not have this characteristic. The first is a simile comparing a tiger's purr to a cat's, the second is a simple question about a witch, and the third is a hyperbole about a woman's appearance.

Answer:

The fire hungrily ate the house.
