Read these lines from the poem “Prayers of Steel.” Beat me and hammer me into a crowbar.
Let me pry loose old walls.
Let me lift and loosen old foundations.
How does the poet personify steel?
a. as someone who wants to be strong and useful
b. as someone who beats things with a crowbar
c. as someone who destroys perfectly good buildings
d. as someone who wants to worship on an altar

A.

Explanation:

The author is trying to portray personifying crowbar and symbolizing usefulness.

B makes no sense because the question is asking you about how the poet is personifying the crowbar, not someone who beats things with a crowbar.

C also makes no sense because it's portraying not only destroying houses but also building them up again (another example of usefulness)

and D just makes no sense whatsoever because the passage isn't talking about worshiping altars.

In conclusion: The correct answer is A.

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.

hope this !

f yes, , mark brainliest : )
