Question

opinions please?
either line 6 or 7 i believe.
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old time is a-flying
And this same flower that smiles today
Tomorrow will be dying
5 the glorious lamp of heaven, the sun
The higher hes a-getting
And nearer hes to setting
Which line does not contain an example pf personification
A line 3
B line 5
C line 6
D line 7

Answer 1

Line 6

Answer 2

1

Answer 3

Gather ye rosebuds brings nothing that has no life alive

Answer 4

actually no it would be 5

Answer 5

what about 7/6 they dont have personification either,correct?

Answer 6

actually lines 6 and 7 are talking about the sun so yes they do have personification. Line 1 is like the only one that makes sense but its not an option

Answer 7

I'd say Line 3 because it says that the flower "smiles."

Answer 8

the flower smiling is personification since flowers dont smile..

Answer 9

i believe im gonna go with line 5 because its just describing the sun as a glorious lamp of heaven . and since a lamp doesnt do anything (smile. run. see. hear. ect) i believe thats why it would be the correct answer. thank yall for all the opinions and thoughts. it really helped :) when i take the test and figure out the correct answer i will give the one who got it right a medal. again thank you :)
