To determine whether the given lines represent a simile, metaphor, or personification, we need to understand the definitions of each literary device.

a) Simile: A figure of speech that makes a comparison between two different things using "like" or "as".
b) Metaphor: A figure of speech that directly equates two different things without using "like" or "as".
c) Personification: A figure of speech in which human attributes are given to non-human objects or animals.

Now, let's analyze the given lines: "then slid his right hand down the cord and plucked it, so the taut gut vibrating and sang a swallow's note."

Based on the given lines, we can see that the author is describing the sound produced by the vibrating cord using a comparison. The line "sang a swallow's note" equates the sound to that of a swallow's note. Since there is no use of "like" or "as," it is NOT a simile. This means that the correct answer is:

b) Metaphor: The lines represent a metaphor because they equate the sound produced by the vibrating cord to that of a swallow's note.

no "like" or "as"

no personal characteristic involved
