"janie starched and ironed her face" this sentence is an example of a(n)
-metaphor
-allusion
-personification
-irony
-hyperbole

It's not an allusion because no references are being made.

It's not personification because there aren't any inanimate objects that is given human-like qualities.

I believe the answer is metaphor because her "starching" and "ironing" her face is being compared to her getting ready to change the way she looks.
