4- coming by the same winding way Rainsford had come
5- He paused, almost beneath the tree, dropped to his knees and studied the ground.

Answer 1

Answer: 3) sleep did not visit Rainsford.

Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals), in order to illustrate an example of something, or to create a mental image. From the given options, the line of "The Most Dangerous Game" that is an example of personification, is the corresponding to option 3, because it says that sleep (non human object) did not visit Rainsford (visit someone is a human characteristic).
