In the sentence 'The wind whispered through the empty school', which figure of speech is used?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Personification

  1. Step 1: Ask whether something non-human is doing a human action. Step 2. Wind cannot whisper in the literal sense, so the writer gives it a human quality. Answer: personification. Why not the others: There is no 'like' or 'as' for a simile, no exaggeration for hyperbole, and no pair of opposites for antithesis.
