Lines 1 through 12 contribute to the poem by showing imagery that helps the reader understand the urgency of the situation, as shown in option F.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The first stanza of the poem, composed of lines 1 to 12, presents very descriptive language, with strong use of imagery.
- Imagery allows the reader to perceive the feeling of anxiety and urgency that will be established in the poem.
- This is because the first stanza uses the imagery to make the reader realize how a knight is urgently asking for reinforcements to prevent the region from being attacked.
Imagery allows the reader's senses to be heightened and he or she to feel what is being described in the poem. This is highlighted in the lines:
<em>"Sound of a horseman riding hard
</em>
<em>Clatter of hoofs in the manor yard
</em>
<em>Feet on the steps and a knock resounding
</em>
<em>As a fist struck wood with a mighty pounding."</em>
