The line ''words died away on his lips'' is a personification.

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

The moral of the story in 'The Monkey's Paw' is that one should not interfere in their fate. We should be careful about what we wish for as it might come true. Personification means that human qualities are assigned to objects or animals.

Words cannot die, but the author wants to say that his words had no meaning, or he had nothing to say and thus depicts this line making a personification.

I agree with the person above.
When there are two objects in a sentence, the grammar rule is that the first one is going to be the indirect one, and the second one the direct one. So, having this in mind, the first object A. customers is the indirect one.
