Which line contains personification?

Answer
A
“Place me in the barge”
B
“the making of the world”
C
“A cry that shiver’d to the tingling stars”

Explanation

Personification gives a nonhuman thing a human action or feeling. In “A cry that shiver’d to the tingling stars,” the cry is described as shivering, an action usually associated with a living person or creature. The other lines do not give a nonhuman thing a human quality.
