Question

HELP PLEASE

The following is an example of what kind of figurative language?
"He had been driven hither by the impulse of that Remorse which dogged him everywhere, and whose own sister and closely linked companion was that Cowardice."

A. Hyperbole
B. Simile
C. Personification
D. Metaphor

Answer 1

The answer would be A. Hyperbole

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. personification.
It means that non-human items/ideas/organisms are given human qualities. So here, words such as Remorse and Cowardice are considered to be human even though they are ideas.
Hyperbole is exaggeration; simile is when you compare things using words like or as; metaphor is when you compare things without those words.
