In the second line of the excerpt from "The Raven," Edgar Allan Poe uses personification. This is because the line refers to "friends" and suggests that they have "flown," attributing human characteristics to the concept of friendship, implying that friends can leave or abandon someone just like birds can fly away. Therefore, the correct response is personification.
