Question

read the excerpt below from the war works hard:
early in the morning
it wakes up the sirens
and dispatches ambulances
to various places
swings corpses through the air
rolls stretchers to the wounded
what literary device is present in the excerpt?
○ irony
○ hyperbole
○ metaphor
○ personification

Explanation:

In the excerpt, "war" is given human - like actions such as "wakes up", "dispatches", "swings" and "rolls". Personification is the literary device that gives human qualities or actions to non - human entities. Irony involves a contrast between expectation and reality, hyperbole is an exaggeration, and metaphor makes a direct comparison without using "like" or "as", so the literary device here is personification.

Answer:

D. Personification
