Answer 2

Answer:

The wind reminded the boy that there was the language of omens.”

Explanation:

Personification has to do with representation of a person in a sentence in an abstract form.

The statement "The wind reminded the boy that there was the language of omens.” is a personification. In the statement the word that was personified is "wind".

Wind according to the statement was reminding the boy of language of omen. This means the wind acts in place of a person to deliver the message to the boy. The wind acts in place of human being talking to another person hence it is being personified.
