Answer 1

Answer:

B- as a kind and gentle carriage driver

Death is personified in “Because I could not stop for Death” as a kindly gentleman who takes the speaker for one last ride in his carriage. Dickinson's personification of death is in complete contrast to how it is usually presented, as something scary.
