Imagery and Symbolism in "The Scarlet Ibis"

Question 1 • FL-1001310-English 1 A

Which phrases are examples of sensory imagery that help the setting come alive? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
“for a sign of mercy”
B
“the rain was coming”
C
"roaring through the pines"
D
“shattered by a bolt of lightning”
E
“the deafening peal of thunder”

Explanation

Sensory imagery uses details that appeal to the senses. “Roaring through the pines” and “the deafening peal of thunder” create sounds the reader can imagine hearing, while “shattered by a bolt of lightning” creates a vivid visual image. “For a sign of mercy” and “the rain was coming” do not provide the same kind of specific sensory detail.
