    Choose which one is an example of personification.

    • A. My cheeks got wet as the rain fell.

    • B. The rain kissed my cheeks as it fell from the sky.

    Correct Answer
    A. B. The rain kissed my cheeks as it fell from the sky.
    Explanation
    Personification is a figure of speech in which human characteristics are attributed to non-human entities. In option B, the rain is personified as it is described as "kissing" the speaker's cheeks. This gives the rain a human-like quality of affection or tenderness. Option A does not contain personification as it simply states that the speaker's cheeks got wet as the rain fell, without giving any human characteristics to the rain.
