Question

Read the excerpt from Between the Silver and the Ash.

The sun is like a child to seek
Yet falls in pools of golden light.
The twins raise leafy arms; there peek
’Tween silver left and ashy right.

Which statement best describes the imagery in the excerpt?

Sensory details appeal to the reader’s sense of hearing.
A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.
A simile creates a visual image for the reader.
Sensory details appeal to the reader’s sense of touch.

Answer 1

A simile creates a visual image for the reader.

Explanation: "The sun is like a child" uses "like" (a simile) and the rest of the lines ("pools of golden light," "leafy arms") create strong visual imagery.
