6. When David Hudson says "This is an issue that has been cryin Supreme Court review for a long time," he uses which example
language? (RI.4)
A metaphor
B. personification
c, simile

B. Personification

Explanation:

The statement above is a figurative language which exemplifies personification, this can be deduced as the statement attributes the word crying to a court case, this is a scenario of attributing a human characteristic to a non-human or abstract object. Of course a court case can't cry, however, the writer is using Thsi human characteristic to show that the case has long been requiring a court hearing. Hence, the figurative language is personification. In metaphor, indirect comparison is made between two unrelated objects, the statement here doesn't make comparison but uses human attirbiute to describe a non-human object.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
