41.

The correct answer is (C).

Personification, choice (A), is the

attribution of human qualities to a nonhuman object. This device

is not present, ruling out choice (A). A simile, choice (B), is a

comparison using the words

like

or

as. Rule out choice (B) as

not in evidence. An apostrophe, choice (D), is a device of calling

out to an imaginary, dead, or absent person, also not present, so

eliminate choice (D). Choice (E), a conceit, is an elaborate figure

of speech in which two seemingly different things or situations

are compared. Rule it out. Only choice (C), a metaphor, answers

the question correctly.
