Read the excerpt from "Man Listening to Disc." is if he were right beside me on this clear day in March, the pavement sparkling
with sunlight, pigeons fluttering off the curb, nodding over a profusion of bread crumbs. Which of the following techniques does Collins use to convey his intended message? 1) rich imagery that appeals to the readers’ senses
2) humorous language that entertains the readers
3) metaphors to help readers comprehend the text
4) definitions to explain important concepts to readers
Answer: The right answer is the A) Rich imagery that appeals to the readers’ senses.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that by using a descriptive language—pavement <em>sparkling with sunlight</em>, pigeons <em>fluttering off the curb </em>and nodding over <em>a profusion of bread crumbs</em>—the poet Billy Collins is trying to appeal to the reader's senses (sound, sight, and even smell) with the goal of recreating the scene in a clear and persuasive way. The speaker is listening to music and he is in good spirits, and he wants to share his upbeat mood with the reader.
