late for school again.

The use of personification in the poem conveys how the speaker feels about their alarm. By describing the alarm as "tapping" the speaker's face, it creates a sense of annoyance or frustration, suggesting the speaker may not have a positive view of their alarm and the situation of waking up late for school.
So, the correct response is: It shows how the speaker feels about their alarm.
