Pencil, personification, true

Explanation:

The pencil is the thing that seems like a real person. Bill is a thing that you can eliminate on a test because he is a person. The pencil is the thing that is screaming, which is why it is the answer. It is personification because a pencil does not normally scream, but a person does. The sentence is supposed to imply that he is stressed, which nervous is a synonym of, so the statement is true.
