Read the excerpt below and answer the question. "a horde is on the march no great wall can halt.' but in the garden of my childhood the old maple was painting a sunset and the crickets were singing a carol; no, i had no wish to run. which of the following are examples of personification in the above excerpt from the poem? select all that apply. the old maple was painting a horde is on the march in the garden of my childhood the crickets were singing

The correct answers would be option A " the old maple was painting" and option D "the crickets were singing", these are examples of personification because they are objects and animals that are assigned qualities only a person can possess, such as the ability to paint and to sing a carol. That is the definition of personification, to assign human like traits to inanimate objects or animals; it is a kind of metaphor commonly used to emphasize a point.
