Question 1 • S1S: English 9B (E2112 - AG)

Which words and phrases are images that appeal to the senses? Check all that apply.“the silken sad uncertain rustling”“purple curtain”“fantastic terrors”“to still the beating of my heart”“nothing more”

Answer
A
“the silken sad uncertain rustling”
B
“purple curtain”
C
“fantastic terrors”
D
“to still the beating of my heart”
E
“nothing more”

Explanation

Imagery uses sensory details that help readers see, hear, feel, taste, or smell something. “Silken” and “rustling” evoke touch and sound, while “purple curtain” creates a visual image. “The beating of my heart” suggests a physical sensation; “fantastic terrors” and “nothing more” do not give a clear sensory image.
