    Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form. Cross off C. An allusion is an expression designed to call something to mind without mentioning it explicitly; an indirect or passing reference. Cross off A. It is either a or b. I will go with B.
