Excerpt: "Morning broke with a chorus of silver bells, the river sang over smooth stones, and the sun painted the hills in amber. By noon, the wind howled like a wounded beast, and the sky turned bruised, spilling ash." Which two types of imagery are most prominent in the passage and how do they contribute to the shift in mood from the hopeful dawn to the ominous afternoon?
Answer Options
A.
The passage relies mainly on visual and gustatory imagery; the bright colors of the sunrise evoke hope, whereas the bitter taste of the afternoon air produces an ominous feeling.
B.
The passage relies mainly on kinesthetic and symbolic imagery; the movement of the river and the symbolic amber hue set a hopeful tone, while the violent wind and bruised sky symbolize danger, shifting the mood.
C.
The passage relies mainly on olfactory and tactile imagery; the fragrant scents and soft textures of the dawn create a hopeful mood, while the pungent smells and rough surfaces in the afternoon generate an ominous mood.
Correct Answer
