Question 10 • English Language Arts 12

Which excerpt from "Morte d'Arthur" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson contains imagery?

Answer
A
“In act to throw: but at the last it seem’d”
B
“I heard the ripple washing in the reeds”
C
“Thou hast betray’d thy nature and thy name”

Explanation

Imagery uses descriptive language that appeals to the senses. “I heard the ripple washing in the reeds” creates a sound image: you can imagine hearing water ripple and wash among the reeds. The other excerpts do not describe a sensory experience as vividly.
