question 5 of 5
what is one way in which the poem \the jelly - fish\ by marianne moore embodies ezra pounds rules of imagism?
a. it creates several images.
b. it has an exact meter.
c. it focuses on one central image.
d. it uses many words to convey a thorough picture.

Explanation:

Ezra Pound's Imagism emphasizes precision, focusing on a single, vivid central image rather than elaborate language or strict meter, and avoiding excess words. Marianne Moore's The Jelly-Fish centers tightly on the jellyfish as its core, vivid image, aligning with this key Imagist rule. Option A is too broad (many poems create images), B contradicts Imagism's rejection of rigid meter, and D conflicts with Imagism's focus on concise, precise language over verbose description.

Answer:

C. It focuses on one central image.
