Answer:

The answer is letter C. Sound: a car engine purring.

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing) to involve the readers and help them visualize what is being described. In the poem "Traveling Through the Dark", by William Stafford, there is no mention to a gunfire, a warm flagpole, or a dead raccoon. The speaker does mention a dead deer and how its body felt to the touch, but that doesn't fit options A, B, or D. Towards the end of the poem, however, the speaker mentions the purring of a car engine, which appeals to the sense of hearing, and helps readers imagine the sound in their minds:

<em>The car aimed ahead its lowered parking lights;    </em>

<em>under the hood purred the steady engine.</em><em> </em>

<em>I stood in the glare of the warm exhaust turning red;    </em>

<em>around our group I could hear the wilderness listen.</em>

It would be D: a dead racoon. Because sensory detail using sight is most likely to develop imagery

PLEASE HELP can you tell me a story about the picture with a lot of details
Softa [21]

Answer:

A draft of wind blew past and ran through her hair.  The air was crisp and the ocean smelled fresh and there was a thick coat of fog swirling around in the atmosphere.  Passing crows flew through the air gracefully, their loud, croaky barks filling the air in a crescendo of volume.  Sarah stared off into the distance as the cold and salty water lapped up onto the shore, and the sky was like a curtain of silk with puffy clouds of creamy white, that reminded her of the inside of her favorite dessert, a light and flaky pâte à choux pastry.   She stared at the waves crashing upon the shore longingly.  The beautiful sound of the waves soothed her like a lullaby her mother used to sing her when she was little.  She dug her toes into the grainy, damp sand.  She ran.  Clumps of seaweed that had washed up on the beach made her stumble, but she kept going. The horizon was a line of nickel-silver.  The sunset, a splash of red, yellow, and orange seemed to be seducing her and causing her to run even faster.  Sarah jumped.  The waves fell down upon her, wrapping her like a huge blanket.  The salty water felt good.  She grinned contently, vivacious, obviously pleased with her incredible accomplishment.

Explanation:

I can add advanced SAT words in the paragraph if you want, but it'll take some time.  Tell me if you want that.  :)
