Explanation:

Imagery is a tool many writers use to help their readers visualize what is going on in the story. Using figurative and descriptive language, they describe things in a way that appeals to our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch. This makes the story more vivid, making it feel more real.

The phrase that is not an example of sensory imagery is phrase B. It simply tells us about an occurrence. It doesn't contain any details that could appeal to our senses, unlike other phrases. The first phrase helps us imagine withered crops dying because of the heat; the second describes how the narrator's father cursed, and the third makes us picture two young boys teasing each other and giggling on their way back home.

This is why option B is the correct one.
