Answer 1

Kinesthetic imagery refers to descriptions that evoke a sense of movement or physical action. Among the provided sentences, the two that utilize kinesthetic imagery are:

1. The tennis player slammed the ball with a quick blow of his racket, sending it flying over the net.

   • This sentence describes the physical action of hitting the ball and the movement associated with it.

2. The city, which seemed to swing back and forth during daylight hours, stood still once the sun fell.

   • This sentence uses the metaphor of the city swinging, which suggests movement, contributing to a sense of kinetic action.

The other sentences focus on static sensations or visual imagery rather than movement.
