Question 3 • S1S: English 9B (E2112 - AG)

Which phrases from the poem are examples of imagery? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
“every morning my brother makes”
B
“he smooths / away all footprints”
C
“the women rub oil / sweeter than honey”
D
“children jump waves / or sip drinks”
E
“once my little sister”

Explanation

Imagery uses sensory details to help readers picture, hear, feel, smell, or taste something. “He smooths / away all footprints” creates a visual image, while “the women rub oil / sweeter than honey” appeals to touch and taste or smell. “Children jump waves / or sip drinks” also gives vivid images of movement and drinking. The other phrases mainly tell who is doing something without strong sensory details.
