Answer 2

Answer:

B. “Can't see it,” Remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech that consists of giving human characteristics to nonhuman things, animals, concepts, ideas, etc. and which is often used to give readers new insights and make the writing more vivid. The line in bold from option B is an example of personification because it describes the “dank tropical night” as if it was a human by giving it the ability to press “its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.”
