Read this excerpt from a poem. He curls on the couch The light is low. No voices beckon him away Demands diminish. Contentment sidles up beside him And he exhales. Which line contains personification? He curls on the couch No voices beckon him away Contentment sidles up beside him And he exhales.

Contentment sidles up beside him is the line that contains personification.

Personification is a figure of speech, a type of metaphor, that assigns qualities of a person to something non-human. Contentment is intangible, it is a state of being, yet it sidles up, or sneaks up beside him. Contentment manages to timidly inch towards him - it means that he's slowly becoming content with what he has. The line even comes right after "Demands diminish", in a way it's a follow-up meant to emphasize his state of being.
