Read these lines from the poem:

If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same:

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

To personify means to give human-like characteristics to something that is not human.

What does the poet personify in these lines?

• "thoughts"

• "triumph and disaster"

• "knaves" and "fools"

• "tools"
