Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A. (Sunrise) most effectively translates a concept into a mental picture. It is the best option because of the actual descriptors that paint an image. B does not paint an image it simply states an event and is barely related to the concept of freedom. C does paint an image but it is not really related to the concept of studious. Finally, while D. (Rumors) does have a strong relation to its sentence, it creates a feeling and a scent more than an image.

Which figurative language comes across most clearly in this excerpt from T.S. Eliot's "Preludes"?The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.
Six o'clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimney-pots,
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.
And then the lighting of the lamps.
