Decide whether these sentences contain an example of personification. | The graceful arms of the old oak tree shaded me. | Out on Grandpa's farm, the quiet fields spoke their secrets to me. | The leaf fell gently through the branches of the oak tree.

Yes. The old oak tree is described as having “graceful arms,” and the fields are said to “speak,” giving nature human qualities. The leaf simply falling gently describes an ordinary action, but the other sentences contain personification, so the answer is personification.
