Ella Merritt · Answer 1

A is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Personification is a rhetorical device that consists in giving human characteristics to animal or things, such as the ability to sing or speak or think. Options B, C, and D each count with an example of this characterization: to move, to tell something, and to listen to something. In option A, the grandmother sings to Africa, which is the object in the sentence and receives the action, meaning that it is the theme of the songs.
