Answer

Brief Explanations:

Personification is giving human - like qualities to non - human things.

  • In the first sentence, "the bus worked hard" is a more general description of the bus's operation (like a machine working), not a strong personification.
  • In the second sentence, "the hideous painting, which screamed for the attention" gives the non - human object (painting) a human action (screaming).
  • In the third sentence, "Her fingernails...tapping" is just a description of a physical action of an object (fingernails) and not personification.

Answer:

No one could ignore the hideous painting, which screamed for the attention of every visitor.
