Question

Read the sentence from an interpretive literary analysis.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C.  L. Frank Baum uses imagery to distinguish Oz from the "gray prairies" where Dorothy lives, describing it as a place with "stately trees bearing rich and luscious fruits," "banks of gorgeous flowers," and "birds with rare and brilliant plumage."

Explanation:

A literary analysis is a type of academical paper whose main purpose is to evaluate and discuss one or more aspects of a literary work such as a novel, poem or short story. Considering this type of paper focuses on literary aspects it is required the writer uses the correct terminology for developing the discussion in the paper including words such as characters, characterization, setting, plot, theme, etc.

In the case presented, the writer is referring to the way the author L. Frank Baum uses description to refer to the places where characters live and the author has referred to it as "describes". However, in literature, the use of description that creates vivid images  and appeals to the senses is called imagery, which is exactly what the author does as the use of language in "stately trees bearing rich and luscious fruits" or "birds with rare and brilliant plumage" create detail image that appeals to the sight. Thus, considering the most accurate term to describe the use of language the author does to create an image is imaginary. The revision that is most accurate is C. as this revision is the only one that includes the term "imagery" which is the most accurate literary term in this case.
