Read the excerpt from “The Scarlet Ibis.”

The lightning was near now, and from fear he walked so close behind me he kept stepping on my heels. The faster I walked, the faster he walked, so I began to run. The rain was coming, roaring through the pines, and then, like a bursting Roman candle, a gum tree ahead of us was shattered by a bolt of lightning. When the deafening peal of thunder had died, and in the moment before the rain arrived, I heard Doodle, who had fallen behind, cry out, “Brother, Brother, don’t leave me! Don’t leave me!”

The imagery in this excerpt most reflects

the sense of sight to emphasize the fear that Doodle was feeling.
the sense of sight to emphasize how difficult it was for the boys to see.
the sense of sound to emphasize the frustration of the narrator.
the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm.

The imagery in the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis" most reflects the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm, as stated in option D.

What is imagery?

The literary device known as imagery is commonly use by writers who want their readers to truly see and feel the same as the characters in the story. It consists of using language that appeals to our five senses so that we can visualize the scene being described.

In the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis," we notice words and phrases appealing to our hearing, that is, describing sound. For example:

  • Roaring
  • Deafening peal of thunder
  • Cry out

With that, the author uses sound to emphasize the intense volume of the storm. The wind bringing the rain is "roaring" and the noise of thunder is "deafening." Poor Doodle has to "cry out" to be heard.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option D as the correct answer.
