Question

answer the questions about \tears of autumn.\
read the sentence from \tears of autumn.\
select the two phrases that are examples of imagery.
she certainly was not going to marry a farmer and spend her life working beside him, planting, weeding, and harvesting in the rice paddies until her back became bent from too many years of stooping and her skin was turned to brown leather by the sun and wind.

Explanation:

Imagery refers to descriptive language that appeals to the senses (sight, touch, etc.). "her back became bent" appeals to the sense of sight (describing the physical appearance of the back) and "her skin was turned to brown leather" also appeals to sight (describing the skin's appearance and texture, like leather, which can also imply a tactile sense of roughness). Other phrases like "planting, weeding, and harvesting" are actions but not as sensory - descriptive as these two.

Answer:

The two phrases are: "her back became bent" and "her skin was turned to brown leather"
