Question

read the excerpt from \broken chain.\ alfonso took the stick of gum, placed it in his shirt pocket, and left the bedroom with his head down. he went outside, slamming the screen door behind him, and sat in the alley behind his house. a sparrow landed in the weeds, and when it tried to come close, alfonso screamed for it to scram. the sparrow responded with a squeaky chirp and flew away. which detail from the passage could be used as an example in a paragraph about imagery? ○ took the stick of gum ○ sat in the alley behind his house ○ landed in the weeds ○ responded with a squeaky chirp

Explanation:

Imagery uses descriptive language to appeal to the senses. "Responded with a squeaky chirp" appeals to the sense of hearing (auditory imagery) by describing the sparrow's sound, creating a vivid mental picture. The other options are more straightforward actions or locations without sensory detail.

Answer:

D. responded with a squeaky chirp
