Question

Which type of figurative language is used in the following line from John F. Kennedy's inaugural address to the nation?

Now the trumpet summons us again."

Symbol

Simile

Personification

Allusion

Answer 1

It's not a simile. Similes compare two things using the words 'like' or 'as.'
It's not an allusion, as it isn't calling a reference to anything.
Symbols are used to represent things without having the thing interpreted literally.
I would go with personification, because it is giving the trumpet a "human" quality, as it is "summoning us," like a person would.
