Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the given sentence, “car kissed the bumper” is a personification, because the car is given a human quality, hence option C is correct. “Crowded street” describes a street, “rusty car” describes a car and “Rolls Royce” is the name of a car (company).

Detailed explanation-2: -Personification examples “The sun smiled down on us.” ‘The story jumped off the page.” “The light danced on the surface of the water.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Cars don’t roar. And unless there is a driver behind the wheel, they don’t take off on a chase. While the noise a car makes might sound like a roar, it is not a roar. This is an example of personification.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lightning danced across the sky. The wind howled in the night. The car complained as the key was roughly turned in its ignition. Rita heard the last piece of pie calling her name. My alarm clock yells at me to get out of bed every morning. More items
