Copper · Answer 1

D. Danced. Personification is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman, or the representation of an abstract quality in human form.

Dalia Mullen · Answer 2

The correct answer is D. danced. Personification is a figure of speech in which inanimate objects or animals get human characteristics. So, obviously, a cell phone cannot really dance, but humans can, so if you use that verb to show that a mobile phone started ringing, then it's a personification because you assigned it human qualities that objects do not normally possess.
