Read the stanza below from the poem “Ballad of Birmingham” by Dudley Randall and answer the question that follows. She has combed and brushed her night-dark hair,And bathed rose petal sweet,And drawn white gloves on her small brown hands,And white shoes on her feet. Which literary technique does the stanza demonstrate?

The stanza uses details that appeal to the senses: we can picture the girl’s dark hair, brown hands, white gloves, and white shoes, and imagine the sweet scent of rose petals. These vivid sensory details are sensory imagery. It is not a simile because it does not compare two things using “like” or “as.”
