    Answer: The correct personification to replace the statement above is "in this thirsty place"

    Explanation: If anything is to grow in a land it must have the requirements for a plant to survive which are adequate nutrients, and abundant water. A land or place which is devoid of those attributes can be termed as thirsty.

    The underlined word is here.

    Answer:

    In this thirsty place

    Explanation:

    The phrase Would anything ever grow here? gives the idea that the land is empty or lacking something important to allow plants to grow. To replace "here" with "in this thirsty place" is the most suitable choice because the word "thirsty" gives us the idea that the land is deficient in or lacking water and thus can not grow any plant. This option is also an example of personification because it gives a human attribute to a non-human thing: the place.
