उत्तर

  • Personification:
    Some water, coal, and oil are all we ask We can pull and push and lift and drive Bui to remember, please, the Law by which we live We are nothing more than children of your brain!
  • Own Example:
    Two Sunflowers Move into the Yellow Room.
    The popcorn leaped out of the bowl.
    The sun glared at me from the sky.
    The fire ran wild.
