Answer: E) Death is a dignitary who when he comes announces is to be received with formal manifestations of respect, even by those most familiar with him.

Explanation:

Personification is a type of figurative language in which human traits are given to something that is not human. Objects are given emotions, desires, speech, gestures, etc.

In <em>An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge</em>, Ambrose Bierce gives human qualities to death. In this excerpt, death performs the action of announcing, and is referred to as 'he'. Death is personified as a <em>dignitary</em> - someone who receives respect.

HELPPPPPPP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:              The answer is below.

Comparing:

Both of the themes from these excerpts are about how you can be able to learn despite differences in yourself from others.

Contrasting:

The theme of <em>The Story of My Life</em> by Helen Keller is that you are able to do anything you put your mind to, even if you are physically impaired in some way.

The main theme in the excerpt of <em>The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass</em>, is that you can learn how to do things even if you are of a different ethnic background.

In other words, the main character in the story are different in different ways (one is blind, the other was of a different ethnicity)
