Question

Which is a correct example of personification?

  1. He is as slow as a turtle
  2. The tornado ran through town without a care
  3. BOOM!!
  4. I'm just too lazy to pick another answer

hintHint:

Personification means giving an object human traits or feelings. When you personify an object, animal, or anything else that’s not human in your writing, you make that “thing” feel more
human. Read the sentence and identify the object which is doing something human.

The correct answer is: The tornado ran through town without a care


    In options a and d, "he" and "I" can both be referring to humans and thus cannot be personified, so options a and d are eliminated. In option c, the formation of the word is from a sound associated with what is named- thus it is an example of onomatopoeia and it is eliminated. In option b, the "tornado", which is not human, does the human action of "ran", thus demonstrating personification. Therefore the correct answer is option b.
