Question 2 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

Which of the following lines from the poem "El Olvido," by Julia Ortiz Cofer, contains sensory imagery that expresses loneliness?

Answer
A
the clothes you were born to wear
B
weapons and sharp instruments you are not familiar with
C
the climate of your birthplace
D
a bare, cold room with no pictures on the walls

Explanation

The phrase “bare, cold room with no pictures on the walls” appeals to sight and touch: the room is empty, and it feels cold. Those sensory details create a lonely, unwelcoming mood. The other choices mention clothes, weapons, or climate but do not convey loneliness as clearly.
