River of Angels by Alejandro Morales One afternoon after getting his pay, he went to his room in the bachelors' quarters, packed a small duffel bag and followed the sun to the West Coast. The year was 1900, the dawn of a new century, when Rodia arrived in San Francisco, where love caught him, and a year later he was married. He remained in San Francisco with his wife, had two boys and worked in what seemed to be never-ending construction. Everywhere he looked there was a house, a building, a bridge, streets, parks being constructed. He saved his money and sent funds to his sister and her husband. The couple eventually came to Southern California.

Question

In which sentence from the passage does the author use personification? (1 point) "The year was 1900, the dawn of a new century, when Rodia arrived in San Francisco, where love caught him, and a year later he was married." "One afternoon after getting his pay, he went to his room in the bachelors' quarters, packed a small duffel bag and followed the sun to the West Coast." "He remained in San Francisco with his wife, had two boys and worked in what seemed to be never-ending construction." "He saved his money and sent funds to his sister and her husband."

Answer 1

The sentence that contains personification is: "The year was 1900, the dawn of a new century, when Rodia arrived in San Francisco, where love caught him, and a year later he was married."

In this sentence, "love caught him" personifies love, suggesting that it can take hold of someone as if it were a physical entity.
