Answer 3

Personification is a literary device in which human qualities or attributes are assigned to non-human entities or abstract concepts. In the sentence "Summer was over and the desert celebrated the return of the rainy season," the desert is described as "celebrating," which is a human action. Deserts do not have feelings or the capacity to celebrate, so this sentence gives the desert human-like qualities, thus using personification.
