Explanation: Imagery is a literary device that consists in the use of figurative language or detailed descriptions in order to evoke the senses of the reader and to create a mental picture. From the given lines from "The Crab That Played with the Sea” we can see an example of imagery in the phrase “Then the little girl-daughter put up her little soft brown arms with the beautiful white shell bracelets” because it uses description to evoke the senses of touch and sight.
