Question

read the excerpt from \morte darthur\ by alfred, lord tennyson
so saying, from the ruind shrine he stept
and in the moon athwart the place of tombs,
where lay the mighty bones of ancient men,
old knights, and over them the sea - wind sang
shrill, chill, with flakes of foam.
what does the figurative language help convey to the reader?
the personification clarifies the importance of the men.
the metaphor emphasizes the emotions of sir bedivere.
the personification makes the setting more vivid to the reader.
the metaphor clarifies king arthurs intentions

Explanation:

Personification is used when it says "the sea - wind sang". By giving the wind the human ability to sing, it makes the setting (the place of tombs with the wind) more vivid. It creates a more engaging and sensory - rich description for the reader. There is no metaphor in the given text. The personification does not clarify the importance of men or King Arthur's intentions. And there is no indication that it emphasizes Sir Bedivere's emotions.

Answer:

The personification makes the setting more vivid to the reader.
