Explanation:

Imagery uses descriptive language to create sensory experiences.

• "he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth": Describes an action with visual elements (rocks, earth).
• "the Moon rose big and full over the water": Creates a visual image of the Moon over water.
• "he hopes one day to catch the world": Uses figurative language (catching the world) to create a mental image.

The first option is dialogue/translation, and the last is a greeting/title, not imagery.

Answer:

B. "he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth"
C. "the Moon rose big and full over the water"
D. "he hopes one day to catch the world"
