Figurative language is a rhetorical device that is used in order to convey a message. There are many literary devices that are considered figurative language, these include similes, metaphors, personification, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, allusion, understatements, symbolism, alliteration, etc. Options B, C and D state facts. However, in option A, personification is used. Personification is whenever one gives human characteristics to an object. The bell is an object and therefore cannot call out, talk or laugh. The author uses personification in order to communicate that Thomas wishes he had made better choices.
