Well, give us the quote and our options...
1. Helped, met.
2. Returned, was
3. Took, said
4. Gave, read
5. Told, cooked
6. Played, broke.
7. Slept, taught
8. Arrived, left
9. Hasn’t had
10. Got, didn’t bring
Personification is giving human characteristics to a nonhuman object. #3 seems like the best choice. Saying sleep did not visit Rainsford is giving sleep the human characteristic of visiting. (Like people do)
Hope that makes sense.
