Question

Which word best describes the style of these lines from Barn Burning by William Faulkner?

But he could hear, and during those subsequent long seconds while there was absolutely no sound in the crowded little room save that of quiet and intent breathing it was as if he had swung outward at the end of a grape vine, over a ravine, and at the top of the swing had been caught in a prolonged instant of mesmerized gravity, weightless in time.

A. analytical B. rambling C. simple D. imaginative

Answer 1

The correct answer should be D. imaginative.

Analytical and simple are the opposite of this paragraph, and it's nor rambling because it makes sense. Rambling is mostly when something is rather long and a bit confusing.
