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.

What is not one of Mark Antony’s true intentions behind his speech
erastovalidia [21]

Answer: To befriend and support the conspirators.

Explanation:

Mark Antony is a character from Shakespeare's <em>Julius Caesar</em>. He is Caesar's supporter and friend. It is due to his support that Caesar managed to become as successful as he is, and to be the ruler of Rome. However, Roman Senators, including Brutus and Cassius, decide to murder Caesar, as he has become too powerful. Upon Caesar's death, Mark Antony delivers a speech which makes people who loved Caesar both sad and angry, weakens the conspirators' control, and affects the emotions of the audience through the use of demagogic language. Therefore, the purpose of the speech was quite the opposite of befriending and supporting the conspirators.
