Luma ordered him to stand in goal. She took off her shoes as the boy waited beneath the crossbar, rocking back and forth and growing more anxious by the moment. She asked for a ball, which she placed on the grass. Then, barefoot, as the team looked on, she blasted a shot directly at the boy, who dove out of the way as the ball rocketed into the net. Luma turned toward her team. "Anybody else?" she asked. Take a look at this chart of Luma’s actions listed in chronological order.

The answer C correctly uses possessive form and is the right answer. It's not A because there is only one George so the apostrophe is in the wrong place. In B, there's not even an apostrophe and it's not clear as to whether there is only one cousin or two or more cousins. In answer D, here should not be an apostrophe for develops.
A envious character will get even
Answer:
C. Visual imagery
Explanation:
This piece is about a person Lucy (whom the speaker admires a whole lot). The speaker captured the rarity & beauty of Lucy's life which was unfortunately missed by people. The speaker would describe Lucy using imagery. He likened her to:
I. the flower Violet (which is not common) in the first line to project her beauty
II. a fair star to further describe her beauty & allure in the third line
<u>In doing this, the speaker used imagery which the eyes can see </u>e.g. flower (Violet), star, sky.
Kinesthetic imagery is used to describe moving objects, gustatory imagery describes what is tasted, tactile imagery describes what can be touched or felt; all these three are NOT the correct answer
<u>Hence, the author used visual imagery. That means option C is the correct answer</u>
