“Fog”
by Carl Sandburg

The fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Figurative language refers to a deviation of the literal meaning. It uses different rethorical devices to enrich the text.

The first line uses a metaphor to express that the fog appears stealthily.

The second one nd the third line use personification, since they give the fog the ability to see and the haunches the characteristic of being silent.
