what type of figurative language is shown? the ocean waves danced in the moonlight. personification onomatopoeia oxymoron

Explanation:

Personification is a figurative language that gives human-like actions or traits to non-human things. The word "danced" is a human action, and it is attributed to ocean waves (a non-human natural phenomenon), which matches the definition of personification. Onomatopoeia refers to words that mimic sounds, and oxymoron is a phrase with contradictory terms, neither of which applies here.

Answer:

personification
