Explanation:

Imagery uses descriptive language to create sensory visual experiences. Option B uses a simile ("like tissue paper") and vivid details about "blue-gray light" to paint a clear visual picture, which fits the definition of imagery. The other options are statements without sensory descriptive details.

Answer:

B. Her eyelids wavered and let in streamers of blue-gray light like tissue paper over her eyes.
