Answer:

A personification is a literary element used to give human attributes to non-human things. In "A Caged Bird" Maya Angelou writes, "The free bird thinks of another breeze  and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees". Winds don't sigh actually, but a personification gives it the human ability to sigh.

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer: Remembering what her motivation for learning French was at the beginning, and making short-term goals, instead of long-term goals would most help Jana achieve her goal.

Explanation: Motivation is the motor of learning. If Jana started learning French, but one semester later she didn't speak as much as she did before, is probably due to setting long-term goals, instead of short-term goals. Languages are a long road to walk, and setting ambiguous and unspecific goals can lead us to lose motivation since we can believe It's impossible to achieve them. However, If Jana also set specific short-term goals, she would see progress in a short time and be more motivated to continue.
