      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    The sensory imagery used in this excerpt is visual imagery. The words "wheeled," "soared," and "swung" create a vivid mental image of movement and flight. The mention of being "High in the sunlit silence" further enhances the visual imagery by evoking a sense of height and brightness. Overall, the use of these words appeals to the reader's sense of sight, allowing them to imagine the scene described in the poem.

    C. Mixed metaphor
    Explanation
    The given statement "He was an open can of worms and I read him as such" uses a mixed metaphor. A mixed metaphor is a figure of speech that combines two or more different metaphors in a way that creates confusion or inconsistency. In this case, the speaker compares the person to both an "open can of worms" and something that can be "read," which creates a conflicting image and makes it a mixed metaphor.
