Ok, so the passage and answer choices that I'm pretty sure correspond with this question is:


"For a long time, I refused to forgive Philippe for what he had said. I held on to my unforgiveness in the hopes that by drinking this poison I might kill my enemy. But soon it was my insides that were burning."

A. It illustrates unforgiveness as a poison to show how it can be administered incorrectly.


B. It compares unforgiveness as a poison to show that it hurts the offended more than the offender.


C. It likens enemies to poison to show that sometimes we don't know we've been harmed until it's too late.


D. It makes Philippe seem like poison to show how he damaged the speaker's inner being.

Based on this passage from The Scarlett Ibis,
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

B. One morning in July a hurricane came out of the east...

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.
