Read the sentence. The drought-ridden ground gratefully drank in the rain. Which type of figurative language does this sentence contain?

The sentence gives the ground a human-like action: it “gratefully” drinks in the rain. Ground cannot literally feel gratitude or drink, so this is personification. Meiosis understates something, onomatopoeia imitates a sound, and hyperbole exaggerates.
