Question 8 • British Literature and Composition

Which excerpt from "Morte d'Arthur" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson contains imagery?

Answer
A
“In act to throw: but at the last it seem’d”
B
“I heard the ripple washing in the reeds”
C
“Thou hast betray’d thy nature and thy name”
D
“Not rendering true answer, as beseem’d”

Explanation

“I heard the ripple washing in the reeds” uses sensory imagery: it helps the reader imagine the sound of water moving among reeds. The other excerpts mainly describe an action or make a judgment, rather than creating a vivid sensory impression.
