Awriter uses different sources to put an essay like this together. which of these would he or she be least likely to have used in his research for this essay? a) a race guide or packet b) previous years' newspaper articles c) the race director’s interview notes d) a kenyan’s post-race comments on the local news

I would say B.) previous years' newspaper articles. The essay is most likely about a race that just happened. Why would they use a PREVIOUS year's newspaper? They'd use things recent with the race. Hope this helps!

B. Previous years’ newspaper articles

The answer is actually b. explanation: lines that signify human-like characteristics: “a half a dozen kissed the eves”raindrops don’t usually ‘kiss’ anything, as it is a human action. lines that signify playfulness: “and made the gables laugh” a gable is the part of a wall that encloses a pitched roof, so it is certainly not living and cannot really laugh. this is a human characteristic and signifies playfulness.
