Satire in The Pardoner’s Tale

Question 6 • *HSA 26-27 English IV A -IC

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

“A cry that shiver’d to the tingling stars” gives the cry the human-like ability to shiver. This makes the line an example of personification; “Place me in the barge” and “the making of the world” do not give something nonhuman a human quality.
