Maria Le · Answer 1

The answer is C because wind is not a person and it can not complain.

Colton Franklin · Answer 2

The correct answer is c. A narrow wind complains all day

Personification or anthropomorphism is stylistic device that attributes a human characteristics or behaviour to a non-human e. g. an animal, or an object.

In this case we attribute the human 'complaining' to 'wind'.
