Question

1. Which figure of speech is exemplified by lines 149–151 of the excerpt from The Odyssey, Part III?

Then slid his right hand down the cord and plucked it, / so the taut gut vibrating hummed and sang a swallow’s note. (1 point)

simile
metaphor
personification

Answer 1

I think it is personification, because personification means to make non living things sound real, and the lines 149-151 follow that. “The taut gut vibrating hummed and sang a swallow’s note.”
