To those who do not know what to refer to:
Refer to "The Premature Burial", specifically this part: From the images of gloom which thus haunted me in dreams, I select for record but a single vision. I thought I was immersed in a cataleptic trance of more than usual duration and depth. Suddenly there came an icy hand upon my forehead, and an impatient, gibbering voice whispered the word "Arise!" within my ear.
I sat erect. The darkness was total. I could not see the figure of him who had woken me.
"Arise! did I not bid you arise?"
"And who," I demanded, "are you?"
By understanding the prompt better, you can give a better response to the prompt.
Answer: I don't know show a image and i'll answer again.
Explanation:
I would agree with you, artifice seems to be the correct answer, because those could be all the materials used to deceive us into thinking the actor is much older than he/she really is.
