Read these lines from walt whitman's poem "song of myself": the spotted hawk swoops by and accuses me, he complains of my gab and my loitering. which of these poetic devices does he use here? a. rhyme b. personification c. eye rhyme d. simile

The correct answer would be option B: "Personification".

Personification is when human atributes or characteristics are applied to animal or non-living things. For example, in the poem, the author says that the hawk, "accused him" and that he "complained", both being actions that an animal (such as a hawk) cannot literally do.

In the poem, the lines shown do not rhyme phonetically or visually and do not compare one trait to another (emphasizing it) therefore, options A, C and D are incorrect.

what are the question answer options?
