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.

Answer:The correct answer is A) the Cyclops offers friendship to Odysseus, but he declines, Odysseus continues to insult the Cyclops, C) the Cyclops is angry because he was blinded and tricked.

The information that I would include in my response is the Cyclops offers friendship to Odysseus, but he declines, Odysseus continues to insult the Cyclops, the Cyclops is angry because he was blinded and tricked.  

We are referring to a passage of Odysseus and the Cyclops, in Homer’s “Odyssey”.

When Odysseus feels he is in danger, he threatens the Cyclops by saying God Zeus is protecting him an would do much harm to the Cyclops in case he wants to harm him. But the Cyclops reply is immediate stating that he is stronger than Zeus. Then Odysseus prays to Athena for wisdom and plan a good escape.
