<span>C. The author uses imagery to bring the images of a farm to life for the reader.
A is incorrect since the author is not giving human traits to any imamate objects seen in the poem. B is incorrect because there are no comparisons; the author does not call something, something else. D is incorrect. I do not see any parallels with life and the pasture spring whatsoever. In fact, life isn't even mentioned. Thus, the answer is: C. The author uses imagery by giving vivid details of objects in the poem. </span>
