which of the following is an example of imagery?
shes as mad as a hatter.
mandy made a major mess.
the wind outside howled, causing the wooden shutters to shake.

Explanation:

Imagery is descriptive language that appeals to the senses. "The wind outside howled, causing the wooden shutters to shake" uses auditory (the howling wind) and tactile (the shaking shutters) imagery. "She's as mad as a hatter" is a simile. "Mandy made a major mess" is a simple statement without sensory - appealing description.

Answer:

The wind outside howled, causing the wooden shutters to shake.
