Explanation:

1. Personification is giving human - like qualities to non - human things. Option A is the correct definition. Option B is simile, C is hyperbole, and D is alliteration.
2. In "The streetlamp thought it would short out for happiness", a streetlamp (a non - human object) is given the human ability to think, which is personification. The other options do not show personification.
3. Without more context about "The Lamp at the Turning", it's difficult to determine the theme precisely. However, based on the given options, we can't infer from the information provided so far. But if we assume it's related to the streetlamp having emotions (personification), a theme about human - like qualities in inanimate objects could potentially be related to human courage and survival in a metaphorical sense.

Answer:

1. A. Giving human qualities to animals or objects
2. B. "The streetlamp thought it would short out for happiness."
3. A. Human courage and survival
