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
