Question 5 • 2026 Summer 305 ELA/ESOL CR_Grade 7
Imagery uses vivid language that helps readers picture or sense what is being described. “Their backs had been made familiar with the bloody lash” creates a graphic image of people being whipped, while “callous” suggests the physical effect of repeated punishment. The other choices mostly report events or thoughts without such sensory detail.
