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.
