Answer 3

c

Answer 4

I think it is B.

Answer 5

Personification is when a writer makes it sound like a non-living object has person-like features. Such as "The car was being temperamental". Cars can't react in a humanly state like that, so that would be personification. I don't think that in this sentence personification is used. I would agree with anonymous_user and say it is a metaphor.
