To identify whether this sentence contains personification, a simile, or a metaphor, we need to understand the difference between these literary devices.
Personification: This is when non-human objects or concepts are given human characteristics or attributes.
Simile: This is a figure of speech that compares two different things using "like" or "as."
Metaphor: This is a figure of speech that compares two different things without using "like" or "as." Instead, it asserts that one thing is another thing.
Now, let's look at the sentence: "Around this pleasant round face, her hair -- as yellow as a crow's foot -- curled in short ringlets."
In this sentence, the hair is being compared to a crow's foot, which means it is using a comparison between two different things. Since the sentence uses the word "as" to compare the hair to a crow's foot, it is an example of a simile.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. simile.
