Question

Which sentence in this excerpt from Ambrose Bierce's "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" uses personification?

Answer 1

The correct option is this: 'Death is a dignitary, who when he comes announced is to be received with formal manifestation of respect, even by those most familiar with him'.
Personification is a part of speech in which attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics is given to something that is not human.
The sentence above is a personification because it describes death as if it is a human being.

Answer 2

Hello,
The sentence that implies that something is not a human being is described as if it were doing human things. That is essentially was personification is.
Thank you (:
