The question asks to identify the line that contains an example of personification. Personification is a literary device where human qualities or actions are attributed to inanimate objects or abstract ideas. We will examine each option to see if it fits this definition.

In this line, the words "full" and "flight" both begin with the 'f' sound, demonstrating alliteration.
The question asks to identify the metaphor used to describe the speed of a comet from the given options. This requires understanding common figures of speech and comparing them to the options provided.

This option represents a common metaphor used to describe something moving with great speed. Although comets travel at speeds vastly greater than a cheetah, the question asks for a metaphorical description, not a literal scientific comparison. The cheetah is renowned for its speed, making it a suitable subject for a metaphor about swiftness.
