Question

review the passage. the personification is shown in bold
he could not now believe the hunger. the eggs had awakened it fully, roaringly, so
that it tore at him. after the sixth egg he nipped the shell open and licked the inside
clean, then went back and ripped the other five open and licked them out as well and
wondered if he could eat the shells. there must be some food value in them. but when he
ried they were too leathery to chew and he couldnt get them down.

what is the effect of the personification on the passages meaning or tone?
it suggests a feeling of enthusiasm.
it suggests a feeling of rage.
it suggests a feeling of urgency.

Explanation:

Personification is used for "hunger" as "it tore at him". Words like "roaringly" and the description of the hunger's actions create a sense of something forceful and immediate. This gives an impression of a strong, pressing need which aligns with a feeling of urgency. Enthusiasm would be more positive and eager in a different context (like looking forward to a fun activity). Rage would involve more anger - related actions (like hitting, yelling out of anger). But the focus here is on the hunger being very present and demanding (urgent).

Answer:

It suggests a feeling of urgency.
