Question

complete the sentence so that it uses personification. the wild orchids ______ the hikers who were meandering through the muir woods. distracted saluted

Explanation:

Personification is giving human - like qualities to non - human things. "Saluted" gives the wild orchids (non - human) a human - like action (saluting). "Distracted" is a more neutral or negative action that doesn't as clearly personify the orchids in a positive, human - like greeting way.

Answer:

saluted
