Question

read the sentence.
the drought-ridden ground gratefully drank in the rain.
which type of figurative language does this sentence contain?
○ personification
○ hyperbole
○ meiosis
○ onomatopoeia

Explanation:

Personification gives human traits to non-human things. Here, the ground (non-human) is described as "gratefully drinking"—human actions/feelings. Hyperbole is extreme exaggeration, meiosis is understatement, and onomatopoeia is sound words, none of which apply here.

Answer:

personification
