Question

Read the passage:

And walk among long dappled grass,

Which choice identifies and interprets the figurative language Yeats uses in this passage?

A. The narrative structure of the single line tells the story.
B. The imagery is descriptive. You can see the texture and movement of the grass.
C. The alliterative words sound like walking.
D. The metaphor is subtle. The grass is compared to walking.

Answer 1

B. The imagery is descriptive. You can see the texture and movement of the grass.

The narrative structure is not the figurative language. Imagery is figurative language. The words long and dappled help create the image of the grass's length and movement. There is no metaphor and there is no alliteration (repetition of the same sound at the beginning of words).

Answer 2

B, the imagery is descriptive is the correct answer. Hope this helps :)
