The use of personification in the poem—where the alarm "taps" the speaker's face—conveys a sense of urgency to the poem. The alarm is given human-like qualities, emphasizing how it is actively trying to wake the speaker, which highlights the speaker's struggle with waking up and getting to school on time. Therefore, the correct answer is:
**it adds a sense of urgency to the poem.**
**it adds a sense of urgency to the poem.**
