Question

question 5 of 10 which of these excerpts from the poems you read is an example of personification? a. the work of hunters is another thing: / i have come after them and made repair (frost, \mending wall\) b. he was speckled with barnacles, / fine rosettes of lime (bishop, \the fish\) c. so much depends / upon / a red wheel / barrow (williams, \the red wheelbarrow\) d. i placed a jar in tennessee, /... it made the slovenly wilderness / surround that hill (stevens, \the anecdote of the jar\)

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device where non - human things are given human traits. In option D, the "slovenly wilderness" is given a human - like quality (slovenly, which means untidy or careless in a human context) and is described as doing a human - like action (surrounding the hill).

Answer:

D. I placed a jar in Tennessee, /... It made the slovenly wilderness / Surround that hill (Stevens, "The Anecdote of the Jar")
