Question

in the worlds audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeam and the stars of midnight. thus my songs share their seats in the heart of the world with the music of the clouds and forests. but, you man of riches, your wealth has no part in the simple grandeur of the suns glad gold and the mellow gleam of the musing moon. the blessing of all - embracing sky is not shed upon it and when death appears, it pales and withers and crumbles into dust. --\74\ rabindranath tagore what is the effect of using imagery to describe the \all - embracing sky\?

• it uses a metaphor to directly compare the sky to the man of riches.
• it allows readers to remember and \feel\ for a moment what an embrace feels like.
• it shows readers that the author is skilled in using figurative language.

Explanation:

• Analyze Option 1: The line "all - embracing sky" does not compare the sky to the man of riches, so this option is incorrect.
• Analyze Option 2: Imagery is used to create a sensory experience. Describing the sky as "all - embracing" uses imagery to make readers recall and feel what an embrace is like, helping them connect with the description of the sky.
• Analyze Option 3: The question is about the effect of imagery, not about showing the author's skill in figurative language. So this option is not the main effect of using imagery here.

Answer:

It allows readers to remember and "feel" for a moment what an embrace feels like.
