Help please will give medal. Which of the following is an example of visual imagery? A) The sister arts enjoy the use of plastic and ductile material, like the modeller's clay; literature alone is condemned to work in mosaic with finite and quite rigid words B) But though this form of merit is without doubt the most sensible and seizing, it is far from being equally present in all writers. C) The effect of words in Shakespeare, their singular justice, significance, and poetic charm, is different, indeed, from the effect of words in Addison or Fielding.
D) You have seen these blocks, dear to the nurser; this one a pillar, that a pediment, a third a window or a vase.
What do you think? I think it would be A because of this sentence " literature alone is condemned to work in mosaic with finite and quite rigid words"
Definition of Imagery. Imagery means to use figurative language to represent objects, actions and ideas in such a way that it appeals to our physical senses. Usually it is thought that imagery makes use of particular words that create visual representation of ideas in our minds.
Well I thought A was the correct answer but wanted a second opinion. I always second guess myself when reading paragraphs like that.
The other sentences do't rally cause me to visualize anything, so I think you're right @marylou004
