Lourdes hadn’t bothered to study for the essay exam, joking that her motto was "fake it ‘til you make it." Now, as she stared in horror at the test booklet, the blank pages were doing the laughing, knowing she had no answers. What kind of figurative language is used? personification simile metaphor hyperbole

personification

Explanation:

Personification is when you apply things humans do to non human objects, Including animals too. It's like when you say "the waterfall yelled loudly" as if it were a human, but it's just a figure of speech. The test booklet was laughing? That's something humans do applied to a non-human, so it's personification.

Similes are when you use "like" or "as" to compare things to others. For example: "His voice was just like a lion roaring." The passage didn't use "like" or "as" to compare anything, so it's not simile.

Metaphors are just like similes but they don't use "like" or "as." For example: "His voice was a lion roaring." The passage wasn't comparing the test booklet to anything, so it's not metaphors.

Hyperboles are when you use extreme exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "His voice was like a thousand lions roaring." There can't possibly be a thousand lions roaring at the same time, which is an exaggeration, so it's hyperbole. The passage didn't exaggerate anything about the test booklet, so it's not hyperbole.

The answer was personification. Giving humans attributes to non-human things.

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )

i feel like it is actually b.
