Answer/Explanation:

Visual (sight) because of the descriptive comparison of the outlines, you can almost see what they look like. It is like the author hands you a photo of the words in action.

The correct answer is D. Visual (sight)

Explanation:

Sensory imagery in literature refers to the use of language or expressions carefully selected to appeal to one or more senses in the reader. In the case of the excerpt "the sprawling outlines run off in great slanting waves of optic horror, like a lot of wallowing seaweeds in full chase" that The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gillman, the author appeals to the sight of the reader because she describes the strange lines in the wallpaper by using precise language such as "sprawling outlines" or "like a lot of wallowing seaweeds" that allow the reader to create a mental image of the wallpaper. Also, the word "optic" in "slanting waves of optic horror" shows the author is focusing on the visual aspect of the wallpaper. Thus, the type of sensory imagery is visual as it appeals to sight.

TKAM Chapter 2 - Summarize the chapter in 5 sentences
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Dill leaves Maycomb at the end of summer. In the wake of his departure, Scout’s only comfort is the thought of starting school, her brother walks her to class on the first day, explaining that, as a first grader, she isn’t to hover around him at recess, talk about their home lives, or embarrass him in any way. This fact takes Scout by surprise, as does her misunderstanding with her first grade teacher, Miss Caroline( she is new in town)  Miss Caroline assumes Scout is being insolent and whacks her on the hand with a ruler. Later, when class lets out, Scout sees Miss Caroline sink into her chair, discouraged by her first day, but there’s bad blood between them now, and Scout doesn’t feel sorry for her.
