EveningBy Victoria Mary Sackville-West
When little lights in little ports come out,
Quivering down through water with the stars,
And all the fishing fleet of slender spars
Range at their moorings, veer with tide about;

When race of wind is stilled and sails are furled,
And underneath our single riding-light
The curve of black-ribbed deck gleams palely white,
And slumbrous waters pool a slumbrous world; <<<< This line is the text in bold.

Then, and then only, have I thought how sweet
Old age might sink upon a windy youth,
Quiet beneath the riding-light of truth,
Weathered through storms, and gracious in retreat.

Which of the following is true of the text in bold?
It explicitly describes the water at night.
It explicitly states that people are afraid.
It implies the coming of a vast and dangerous storm.
It implies the opening of a hidden door.

I believe the answer is: Imagery


Imagery refers to the appeal to either one of our five sense (hearing, taste, touch, smell, sight) to describe a certain object or situation.

The purpose of imagery is to add a depth in the writing and help the writers to make the readers feel the emotion that the writers felt.

The atmosphere at Aunt Agnes’s farmhouse was _1_
during the wake. No one could believe that Agnes was
gone. At least, they reasoned, the _2_ equestrian died
while doing something that she loved. There was no
definite explanation as to why Agnes’s horse bucked her
off, but by the looks of the _3_ animal tracks, the horse
had been spooked by a _4_ wolf, perhaps the largest
ever seen.
The threat of wolves was nothing new to the _5_
Van Ness family, who had been farming the
northern valley for six generations. Wolves had
attacked horses on the farm in the past, especially
during extremely cold winters such as this one.
Children on the farm always had _6_ instructions to
stay within sight of the house, but sometimes not
even that was enough to protect the family from the
hungry, silver predators.
Needing a break, Vicky wandered up the stairway
to the second floor. Memories of her youth flashed
through her head as she entered Agnes’s room and
sat on the corner of the bed. That’s when she

1 is dolorous because it shows that the atmosphere is very sorrowful.
2 is avid because it shows that she was doing something she loved. 
3 is formidable because it is made clear by the context that whatever animal it was was one you wouldn't want to mess with.
4 is gargantuan, because of "perhaps the largest ever seen." 
5 is agrarian, because of "farming the northern valley." 
6 is explicit, because the instructions are very strict and specific.
7 is epistles, because they are like letters, and can be hand-written.
