Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Personification. Personification is a figure of speech in which non living things are given the qualities of living things. Here in this line the poet talks about the daffodils and state that they are dancing and moving with the breeze. Hence, Option 4 is the correct answer.
Detailed explanation-2: -“Fluttering and dancing in the breeze” is another example of personification.
Detailed explanation-3: -The figure of speech used in the line “fluttering and dancing in the breeze” is personification.
Detailed explanation-4: -Personification means that the poet attributes human qualities to non-human things. To Wordsworth, the daffodils look like a “crowd” or a “host” of people. They cheerfully toss their “heads” (12), know how to dance, and provide good “company” (16), which is more than can be said of some individuals.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: The daffodils have been personified as human beings, fluttering and “tossing their heads” in a “sprightly dance”. So the literary device used here is personification. This personification affirms the instinctive harmony between man and nature.
