Question

Which of the following is an example of personification?

  1. The wind blew
  2. The Wind howled in the night

hintHint:

Personification is a figure of speech where non-living things and those living creatures except for human beings are treated as a person. It is an ornamental use of language to impose humane features and personal attributes on non-humans.

The correct answer is: The Wind howled in the night


    The correct answer is "The Wind howled in the night".
    Among the two options given, only the second one shows the wind - like an angry human being - howling in the dark of the night. Here, the wind - a non-living thing - has been provided with personal attributes - screaming and howling in the night - and thus, the sentence is expressing the simple meaning of the sound made by the furiously blowing wind in the night, but in a more ornamental and aesthetic manner. So, the correct answer is "The Wind howled in the night".
