Read the excerpt from walden. this is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense, and imbibes delight through every pore. i go and come with a strange liberty in nature, a part of herself. as i walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt-sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and i see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me. which best states what the imagery in the excerpt suggests? thoreau believes he is the only one to ever experience this type of night. thoreau believes he is experiencing a perfect night that will never happen again. thoreau feels like an outsider as he observes the objects in his environment. thoreau feels as if he is in harmony with the aspects of his environment.

D) Thoreau feels as if he is in harmony with the aspects of his environment.

Explanation: Imagery is a literary device that consists in the use of descriptions and details to evoke the audience's senses (smell, sight, touch, taste or hearing), with the purpose of create a picture in the audience's mind. In the given excerpt from Walden we can see an example of the use of imagery (like " As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt-sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me"), in this way Thoreau expresses how he feels as if he is in harmony with the aspects of his environment.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
