Answer 1

Answer:

The type of figurative language that we can identify being used in the passage is the following:

C. Personification.

Figurative language refers to the use of words to express meanings that go beyond their general and literal meaning.

One example of figurative language is personification.

Personification consists of giving human qualities, emotions, or behaviors to inanimate objects.

A fire cannot have an emotion. It cannot feel happy, which means it cannot do something "merrily".
