Which literary device has been used in the underlined line?

I WILL CAPITALIZE IT

Arise, my soul, on wing enraptur’d, rise
To praise the monarch of the earth and skies,
Whose goodness and beneficence appear
As round its centre moves the rolling year,
Or when the morning glows with rosy charms,
OR THE SUN SLUMBERS IN THE OCEAN'S ARMS
Of light divine be a rich portion lent
To guide my soul, and favour my intent.
(from “Thoughts on the Works of Providence” by Phillis Wheatley)

simile

imagery

personification

synecdoche

Verified Answer :

apologiabiology

defenitions:

similee: compareing 2 things with the word 'like' or 'as'
   example: 'graceful as the wind'

imagery: using an image to convey an idea

personification: treating a non-person as a person way (sorry confusing)
   example: 'the sun walked across the ocean'

synecdoche: the part stands for the whole
    example: 'his hand will save us'

hyperbole: exageration
   example: 'he ate two train worth of food'



so


sun slumbers in ocean's arms
1. sun doesn't sleep, because is isn't alive
2. ocean doesn't have arms, people have arms

this is personification

dullah

This is definitely Personification because it is making the sun do something only a human could do.
