Excerpt from Bleak House by Charles Dickens: Fog everywhere. Fog up the river, where it flows among green aits and meadows; fog down the river, where it rolls defiled among the tires of shipping, and the waterside pollutions of a great (and dirty) city. Fog on the Essex marshes; fog on the Kentish heights. Fog creeping into the cabooses of collier-brigs; fog lying out on the yards, and hovering in the rigging of great ships, fog drooping on the gunwales of barges and small boats. 1. How does the use of personification in the paragraph help develop the setting?

Q2
Excerpt from A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens The stone faces on the outer walls stared blindly at the black night for three heavy hours; for three heavy hours the horses in their stables rattled at their racks, the dogs barked, the owl made a noise with very little resemblance in it to the noise conventionally assigned to the owl by man-poets. For three heavy hours the stone faces of the chateau, lion and human, stared blindly at the night. 2. How does the use of personification in the paragraph help develop the setting?
The personification of the stone faces indicates a dark night in the country.
The personification of the stone faces indicates a presence of a storm.
The personification of the stone faces indicates a pending battle.
The personification of the stone faces indicates the action is happening in a place of wealth.
