What did we say to each other
that now we are as the deer
who walk in single file
with heads high
with ears forward
with eyes watchful
with hooves always placed on firm ground
in whose limbs there is latent flight

Which of the following techniques does this poem use?

I. simile

II. sensory imagery

III. allusion

 I and II  

 I and III  

 II and III  

 I only

Respuesta :

I and II should be the correct answer

Answer:

The correct answer is  

A) I and II

Explanation:

Allusion is not to be seen anywhere in this,

There is a simile used in the sentence "that now we are as the deer

who walk in single file"

Sensory imagery is anything that involves one or more of the five senses and in the poem it has that by saying

"with ears forward "

"with eyes watchful "

with all this in mind it would make A the correct answer

Hope this helped
