Answer:
This excerpt from <em>The Stranger</em> is an example of imagery. <u>The correct answer is the third one.</u>
Explanation:
Imagery is a literary device used for describing an object or a scene, or a feeling in order to create a defined image of it in the reader's mind. It means to use figurative language to represent objects, actions and ideas in a way that it appeals to our physical senses. In this excerpt, the writer describes the man with such detail that it is very easy for the reader to build a vivid image of the man in the reader's mind.
1. flying
As the directions state, a participle is a verb. Both flying and headed are verbs. However, headed is used as an action verb in the sentence. It is what the geese are doing. Flying is an adjective describing the geese as "flying by". You should be able to cross out the participial phrase and the sentence will still make sense as in "The geese are headed south for the winter."
2. B. Clapping wildly.
Clapping wildly is the participial phrase. It describes the audience. Option C contains the main verb of the sentence "shouted" so this is not a participial phrase. Option D has an infinitive "to come".
3. cat
The participial phrase in the sentence is "hearing the footsteps of its owner". The cat is what hears the footsteps.
