Answer:

D. Imagery

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses a vivid and descriptive language that appeals to any of our senses, be it sight, hearing, smell, taste or touch. This excerpt uses this device as its language is descriptive enough to evoke pictures or ideas in our minds that appeal to our senses of sight (As in the line "We walked through the flaring streets, jostled by drunken men") and hearing (As in "amid the curses of labourers, the shrill litanies of shop-boys" and "the nasal chanting of street-singers").

Which of the following sentences show the word “choose” in the present perfect, passive tense?
olga_2 [115]
The answer is the first option, "We have been chosen."

The present perfect tense is characterized by the usage of the words "have [verbed/verben, etc.]." However, since this sentence must also be in the passive voice, we must act accordingly. Instead of "We have chosen," the sentence now reads as "We have <em>been</em> chosen."
