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.
