PLZ HELP ME:Read the excerpt from The Great Gatsby. Then answer the question that follows.

I couldn't sleep all night; a foghorn was groaning incessantly on the Sound, and I tossed half-sick between grotesque reality and savage, frightening dreams. Toward dawn I heard a taxi go up Gatsby's drive, and immediately I jumped out of bed and began to dress—I felt that I had something to tell him, something to warn him about, and morning would be too late.

What is the effect of the bolded figurative language on the passage?

The alliteration reveals the repetitive nature of the speaker's nightmares.
The metaphor reflects the sad sound of the taxi going up the driveway.
The personification emphasizes the distressed and melancholy mood of the speaker.
The simile compares the sound of the foghorn to a nightmare.

BlankSpace · Answer

Now which other glaringly obvious answer can't be correct?

Nickblade10 · Answer

I was just thinking, and its c isn't it? Foghorns cant actually groan so it might be personification?

BlankSpace · Answer

Yup, that's correct

BlankSpace · Answer

It's not a simile, since it's not acting as a simile

Nickblade10 · Answer

Dame man, thank you so much, this means a lot to me.
