Accepted Answer

### Question 1
# Brief Explanations:
To determine the correct definition of personification, we analyze each option:
- Option a describes a simile (comparison with "like" or "as").
- Option b matches the definition of personification (giving human qualities to non - human entities).
- Option c describes onomatopoeia (using sound to describe).
- Option d describes alliteration (repeating initial sounds).
# Answer:
b. when the author gives human qualities to a non - human subject

### Question 2
#### Part a
# Brief Explanations:
In the sentence "Winter surprised us this year, it came quietly into the night", the non - human subject "Winter" is given the human quality of "surprising" and "coming quietly" (actions a human can do). So we circle "Winter".
# Answer:
Winter

#### Part b
# Brief Explanations:
In "The children looked up and saw the trees bow down their heads, shoulders heavy with snow", the non - human "trees" are given the human action of "bowing down their heads". So we circle "trees".
# Answer:
trees

#### Part c
# Brief Explanations:
In "Old men cursed at the cold winds of winter embracing them and clawing at their chests", the non - human "winds" are given the human actions of "embracing" and "clawing". So we circle "winds".
# Answer:
winds

### Question 3
#### Part a (the sun)
# Brief Explanations:
We need to give the sun a human quality. For example, "The sun smiled down on the earth, spreading its warm rays like a loving parent." Here, the sun is given the human action of "smiling" and the quality of being a "loving parent".
# Answer:
The sun smiled down on the earth, spreading its warm rays like a loving parent.

#### Part b (the moon)
# Brief Explanations:
To personify the moon, we can say "The moon peeked out from behind the clouds, shyly casting its silver light over the landscape." The moon is given the human action of "peeking out" and the human quality of being "shy".
# Answer:
The moon peeked out from behind the clouds, shyly casting its silver light over the landscape.

#### Part c (a lake during winter)
# Brief Explanations:
For a lake in winter, we can write "The lake during winter slept peacefully, its surface covered with a blanket of ice." The lake is given the human action of "sleeping" and the ice is like a "blanket" (a human - like way of covering).
# Answer:
The lake during winter slept peacefully, its surface covered with a blanket of ice.
