To determine whether the phrase "Music is the salve that soothes us" is a metaphor, simile, or personification, we can look at the specific qualities and comparisons being made.

1. Metaphor: A metaphor is a figure of speech in which one thing is said to be another, without using "like" or "as." In this case, the phrase is comparing music to a salve that soothes us. It is asserting that music possesses the quality of being a soothing remedy like a salve. Therefore, "Music is the salve" can be interpreted as a metaphor.

2. Simile: A simile is a figure of speech that uses "like" or "as" to compare one thing to another. However, the phrase "Music is the salve that soothes us" does not use "like" or "as" to make a comparison. Therefore, it is not a simile.

3. Personification: Personification is a figure of speech in which human qualities or actions are attributed to non-human things. In this case, music is not being given human qualities or actions. It is simply being compared to a salve, so it is not personification either.

In conclusion, the phrase "Music is the salve that soothes us" is a metaphor because it directly compares music to a salve, implying that music has the qualities of providing soothing relief.
