Question

complete the sentence so that it uses personification.
ted walked in and saw the candle flames ______ in the empty room.
options: dancing, shining, flickering

Explanation:

Personification is giving human - like qualities to non - human things. Among the options, “dancing” is a human action. Candle flames are non - human, and when we say the candle flames are dancing, we are giving them a human - like action, which is personification. “Shining” and “flickering” are more typical descriptions of how a flame behaves without attributing human actions.

Answer:

dancing
