Read the excerpt from "Broken Chain." Alfonso took the stick of gum, placed it in his shirt pocket, and left the bedroom with his head down. He went outside, slamming the screen door behind him, and sat in the alley behind his house. A sparrow landed in the weeds, and when it tried to come close, Alfonso screamed for it to scram. The sparrow responded with a squeaky chirp and flew away. Which detail from the passage could be used as an example in a paragraph about imagery? took the stick of gum sat in the alley behind his house landed in the weeds responded with a squeaky chirp

D. Responded with a squeaky chirp.
Step-by-step explanation:
The detail "responded with a squeaky chirp" from the passage could be used as an example in a paragraph about imagery. Imagery is a literary device in which figurative language is used in order to represent ideas, objects and actions that appeal to the reader's senses.
In the sentence "responded with a squeaky chirp" the author uses imagery to create in the reader a visual image of the situation, by appealing to the sense of hearing, thanks to the words "squeaky" and "chirp".
