Answer 1

The sentence from the passage that uses 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" is an example of personification because it attributes the human action of "catching" to the abstract concept of love.
