What type of figurative language is used in the following sentence?

"She was one of those pretty and charming girls born, as though fate had blundered over her."

Explain how you know this.

Answer :

This is actually an example of “personfication.” This is not a simile because it is not comparing unlikely things to eachother, DAKOTAH4573 is wrong. I know this because they are personifying the fate by saying it has blundered over her, but only humans can blunder over something for example, personification can be like: “The sun kissed my face, the warm feeling was comfortable.” Can a sun really kiss you? No way, only a human can do that, so you are “personifying” the sun :).
It is a simile because it has an as in the sentence
