Question 7 • *HSA 26-27 English IV A -IC

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

Imagery uses sensory details to help readers picture, hear, or otherwise experience a scene. “I heard the ripple washing in the reeds” appeals to hearing and evokes the sound of water moving through reeds. The other excerpts mainly describe an action or make a judgment rather than creating a sensory impression.
