    Answer: A) Personification.

    Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals). In the given passage from "The Necklace" we can see an example of personification, because it is saying that the cabs (non human objects) were ashamed to show their shabbiness (being ashamed is a human characteristic). So the correct answer is option A.
