    The correct answer is 4: Personification

    Explanation:

    Personification is a figure of speech in which we attribute a human characteristic to some object, thing, idea or animal, so they possess the ability to act like humans.

    In this excerpt, feet can talk - just like humans and that is an example of personification.

    Apostrophe is a literary device we use to directly address an absent person, quality or thing, as if it were present or capable of responding.

    Simile is a figure of speech based on a comparison between two different things, by using the words like or as.

    The allusion is a literary device we use in order to refer to some famous person, thing, event, place or idea. The reference is brief and indirect, so it does not describe directly the person, event or thing to which it refers.
