Read the excerpt from Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. If any one thing in my experience, more than another, served to deepen my conviction of the infernal character of slavery, and to fill me with unutterable loathing of slaveholders, it was their base ingratitude to my poor old grandmother. She had served my old master faithfully from youth to old age. She had been the source of all his wealth; she had peopled his plantation with slaves; she had become a great-grandmother in his service. She had rocked him in infancy, attended him in childhood, served him through life, and at his death wiped from his icy brow the cold death-sweat, and closed his eyes forever. Which line from this excerpt contains imagery? a. She had served my old master faithfully from youth to old age. b. She had been the source of all his wealth. . . . c. [S]he had become a great-grandmother in his service. d. [A]nd at his death wiped from his icy brow the cold death-sweat. . . .

The correct answer is D. [A]nd at his death wiped from his icy brow the cold death-sweat. . . .

Explanation:

In writing, imagery involves using detailed descriptions to represent vividly certain elements the author includes. This makes the reader imagine accurately the situation or element describe. This occurs in "And at his death wiped from his icy brow the cold death-sweat. . . " because the use of descriptive details such as "icy brow" and "cold death-sweat" are specific enough to allow the reader imagine precisely the scene in which the great-grandmother wipes the sweat of his master as his died.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
