Commander McKee checked the dials and switches in the shuttle cockpit and determined that they were functioning normally. He the

n tested the communications systems that connected his ship with the mission control headquarters. He checked the fuel gauges and saw that there was enough fuel for the months-long trip to Saturn. All of the other gauges and meters checked out normal, and the idling engines gave off a strong, reassuring hum. After a final glance around, McKee declared that the shuttle was finally ready for takeoff. He readied the brave astronauts under his command and the ground crew alertly awaiting the launch. The rocket took off and, racing through space, eventually arrived at Saturn, where Commander McKee and his assistants built the first successful human colony.

ahrayia [7]
The correct answer is
<span>A. The pink sky sank into wet night

Imagism is about depicting vivid images usually by describing using vivid colors or things that are felt by senses. Presenting someone's mind or concepts like yesterday and tomorrow is not imagism because it's too abstract to imagine vividly. Same with the final sentence where it's not very vivid.</span>
