(Points : 2.5)

A. a literary movement that sought to elevate human emotion and experience over human intellect

B. a literary movement that championed using precise language to create a single evocative mental picture for readers

C. a literary movement that championed the idea that life could be represented realistically and in its entirety in literature

D. a literary movement that sought to remind readers of a time when life was simpler, people more decent, and the world safer

Answer 1

I think that the answer "B" represents the character of Imagism in a best way. The  imagist poets used metaphors but their language was precise and very detailed. They were also negative to the Romanticism and Idealism movements.
