Personification is a figure of speech that attributes human traits and characteristics to inanimate objects. The line from the excerpt of Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" that is an example of a personification is option 3- sleep did not visit Rainsford. In this line, the inanimate object that is personified is the word "sleep" which does the action "visit".
