QUESTION IMAGE
Question
imagery makes speech language vivid because it:
○ relies on abstract words and phrases that explain complex, theoretical ideas
○ avoids excluding members of the audience based on their gender identity, race, or age
○ creates word pictures that let you experience concepts and ideas by appealing to the five senses
○ uses tools such as parallelism and repetition to reinforce and enhance ideas
Imagery is a literary and rhetorical device that uses descriptive language to trigger sensory experiences. It constructs "word pictures" that engage sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell, making language feel vivid and tangible. The other options describe unrelated concepts: abstract language (opposite of imagery), inclusive communication, and structural rhetorical tools like parallelism.
