Brittany thought it was best she get it over with, "I have something to say, Shannon. I am the one who told Toby that you liked him.'' Shannon's eyes widened and her cheeks flushed red, "What? You did what!?'' "I'm sorry! I thought I was helping, you see," Brittany stammered. "I overheard him on the bus talking to these two guys, saying how much he liked you and didn't know who you were, and I ,well, I thought that it wouldn't hurt to say, so I said." Brittany's hands were sweaty; she felt a little dizzy with fear; Shannon was going to be so mad. "How dare you, you cow! You, you, oh!" and Shannon began to cry.

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the B) Imagery.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this excerpt from Walt Whitman's poem "Beat! Beat! Drums!," the poet seems to be exhorting the drums and bugles to play as loudly and fiercely as they can, and one can almost visualize them and hear them. This use of vivid language is called imagery, and is meant to appeal to our senses and emotions. Whitman wrote this poem as a call to arms, hence the use of this figurative and expressive language.
