Question

Need help with English what is the sentence down below? Hyperbole, Metaphor, personification, Simile

The ocean waves swallowed her up as it viciously tore through her small boat.

Answer 1

This sentence is personification. Personification means that something non-human is given human qualities. Ocean waves can't "swallow" anything. They don't have a throat. Therefore this sentence gives the waves a human quality

Hope this helped!
