Question

which excerpt from \binding memories\ contains imagery that helps the reader understand why the speaker loves books?○ no matter how many were printed,there was only one copy like mine.○ i stole—well, borrowed—the shoe box of letters○ im glad im a
omantic soul,\that my work is worthwhile.○ i cherished the musty smell of the paper,the permanence of the deep black ink,

Explanation:

Imagery uses sensory details to evoke understanding. The correct excerpt uses olfactory (musty paper smell) and visual (deep black ink) details to show the speaker's fondness for books, directly linking sensory experiences to their love of books. The other options lack this sensory, explanatory imagery.

Answer:

I cherished the musty smell of the paper,
the permanence of the deep black ink,
