Which of the following quotes from "After Twenty Years" helps establish the mood by using imagery?



Question 8 options:

A. There was now a fine, cold drizzle falling, and the wind had risen from its uncertain puffs into a steady blow. The few foot passengers astir in that quarter hurried dismally and silently along with coat collars turned high and pocketed hands.

B. “Oh, I grew a bit after I was twenty.”

“Doing well in New York, Jimmy?”

C. “You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he snapped. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man’s nose from a Roman to a pug.”“You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he snapped. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man’s nose from a Roman to a pug.”

D. The man from the West unfolded the little piece of paper handed him. His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he had finished. The note was rather short.

Imagery uses descriptive language to communicate the visual aspects of settings and characters. In this case, Quotation "A" best represents this concept.

Quotation "A" uses colorful adjectives to describe the setting. "...fine, cold drizzle" and "...risen from its uncertain puffs into a steady blow" help the reader establish a clear picture of the weather.

The second sentence describes the foot passengers as hurrying "dismally and silently" with "coat collars turned high" and "pocketed hands." This further emphasizes the bleak weather and the dismal undertones.

The answer is Quotation A

I hope this helps!
