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
The words that best reflect Lincoln’s formal diction are the ones in the second option: brought forth.
To bring forth means to cause something to happen or be seen or known. The phrase is usually used in formal contexts or in literature.
All of the other options have words that are not considered formal and can be considered of every-day use.
Disappear, because a verb is a action or occurrience.
