Answer: B) The author uses figurative language to create strong sensory images of nature.

Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. It can be expressed through metaphors, similes, personifications, allusions, etc. In the given excerpt we can see an example of the use of figurative language, specifically personification such as: "the world seems to hold its breath," "the sleeping sky," "the water-oaks had ceased to moan as they bent their heads," etc. The personification is used to create strong sensory images of nature.
