Yeats states that he was not closely acquainted with the people in the Easter Rising. He acknowledges that he only exchanged pleasantries with them before the uprising. He also indicates that he has personal reasons for disliking one person. So he is writing about the cause for which they stood, which, by inference, is important.
The comparison of the rebels to "stone" suggests that Yeats may have viewed the rebels' attitude as inflexible or not adapted to the changing times. Yeats also acknowledges the possibility that their deaths may have been "needless" because the British might keep their promises.
However, his reference to the "sacrifice" (of all who had supported Irish independence) and the rebels' "excess of love" suggest that he views their cause in a positive light. Moreover, Yeats's repeated description of the kind of change that the uprising has brought about as "a terrible beauty" suggests that his sympathies lie with the rebels.
To summarize, Yeats places a certain distance between the rebels and himself, but he supports the rebels' cause.
Answer:
<em>Personification</em>
Explanation:
<em>Personification</em> is a figure of speech where we give human characteristics to inanimate objects.
In the given example we have Butterkist which is a famous British company that produces, among other food, biscuits. The sentence gives us an impression like Butterkist is a real person, a cook, who cooks those biscuits, so in a way, we <em>gave life</em> to the company and that represents personification.

Dear Liam, how are you doing? I hope you're doing fine.
Man you would never believe that I became superman for 3 minutes yesterday as I rescued a child from an armed attacker.
Now, don't laugh. This is serious. It was a life and death stuff, yeah I know I'm scrawny and skinny but yesterday all those was replaced by cold rage and a sense of duty to save the young lad.
On my way home just past six in the evening, I saw a young teen arguing with an older boy about something, I decided to mind my business, when suddenly the bigger (and older) guy brought out a jack knife!
I acted without thinking, and I'm glad I did because it probably saved the young lad's life. I struggled with the attacker for a while, after he had already slashed the kid on the arm a few times, I overpowered him and with the help of some bystanders, we rendered him immobile. The police was called and they took the rascal away.
Well, enough of my three minutes heroics, hope you're having a swell time over there.
Have a blessed weekend, man.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
Aaron Connolly.
