Answer: by using positive imagery in Passage 1 and negative imagery in Passage 2 to convey opposing emotional responses to the same seasonal cycle.
Explanation: the poets create contrast mainly through imagery and tone — Passage 1 frames the season with warm, life-affirming images and the speaker’s fond feelings, while Passage 2 uses bleak, decaying images and a darker tone to show dislike or anxiety. The other choices describe specific structural or expository techniques that aren’t the primary means of contrast here.
