Answer:
The words the poet includes to help readers visualize the scene are:
"pearl-pale hand"
Explanation:
The device used by writers to help readers visualize a scene is called imagery.<u> The words chosen by the writer will appeal to one or more of the five senses, making it easier for readers to see, feel, hear etc. what is being described.</u> Among the options given in the question, there is one that <u>appeals to our sense of sight: "pearl-pale hand"</u>. These are the words that introduce the part in the excerpt that gets readers imagining a scene:
<em>You need but lift a pearl-pale hand, And bind up your long hair and sigh</em>
Notice how this passage is filled with imagery. We can easily visualize a poet lifting his white hand to tie his hair. We can hear him sighing before he starts to write. We can clearly imagine the scene.
