Question

In the sentence “Death came with his icy touch,” which figure of speech is used?

• A. Simile
• B. Personification
• C. Metaphor

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Personification

“Death” is a non-living idea given human action (“came with his icy touch”).

That’s personification*.

The use of “his” shows masculine personification*.
