Context clues. Read the whole sentence. If you still don't get it, read the whole paragraph. Sooner or later, you'll get it. It's just like eavesdropping. You may not know what they're talking about in the first place, but you'll get the idea once you heard the whole thing.

In "The Masque of the Red Death," Edgar Allan Poe personifies the Red Death. Which two excerpts from the story reflect this fact

Shtirlitz [24]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Personification is giving human like characteristics or actions to a non-human things.

Excerpt 1 just talks about how scary and awful the Red Death is, but it doesn't really make it seem human.

Excerpt 2 describes the Red Death like a really scary looking masked person looking thing, kind of like a scythe. The Red Death is a non-human thing though, but Poe is making it seem human. This is personification.

Excerpt 3 talks about a face, vesture, brow, etc. These are all things that humans usually have. This is a personification.

Excerpt 4 is just describing a scary place, but it doesn't really talk about anything human, and it doesn't seem to be talking about the Red Death at all.

Therefore, the answer is Excerpt 2 and Excerpt 3.

Have a wonderful day! :D
