Question 15 • Literature and Composition I

Read "On a Tree Fallen across the Road." Which line contains the strongest example of imagery?

Answer
A
"But just to ask us who we think we are"
B
"Insisting always on our own way so."
C
"She likes to halt us in our runner tracks,"
D
"And yet she knows obstruction is in vain:"

Explanation

Imagery uses sensory details to help readers picture an action or scene. “She likes to halt us in our runner tracks” creates a vivid picture of the tree suddenly stopping travelers in their tracks. The other lines express thoughts about human behavior or the tree’s purpose, but they are less visually concrete.
