Read the excerpt from "Morte d'Arthur” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Black-stoled, black-hooded, like a dream—by these Three Queens with crowns of gold—and from them rose A cry that shiver’d to the tingling stars, What does the personification "a cry that shiver’d to the tingling stars” emphasize to the reader?

The queens’ cry is described as reaching and making the stars “shiver,” which exaggerates how powerful and sorrowful it sounds. This personification emphasizes the queens’ sadness; it does not mainly describe their clothing, dreams, or reason for being out at night. The correct choice is “the sadness of the queens.”
