The Raspberry Room

HELP PLSSS!!!

Answer 1

"Daring anyone to come in"

Step-by-step explanation:

In line 5, the poet uses the phrase “daring anyone to come in” to suggest that the raspberries (which are inanimate) are acting as though they have a mind of their own. The overall effect is to suggest a kind of personality for the raspberries (they don’t want to let anyone in). This is an example of personification.
