Question 22 of 24
Read the following excerpt from 'Preludes" by T. S. Eliot:
The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.
Six o'clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimneypots,
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.
And then the lighting of the lamps.
Which statement best explains how the poet's use of figurative language in
this excerpt conveys the tone?
A. The speaker conveys a sense of disgust by using sensory details
to portray a grimy city scene
B. The speaker conveys a hopeful tone by comparing a city scene to
a peaceful natural setting
C. The speaker conveys a sarcastic tone by comparing a city scene
to a peaceful natural setting.

details to portray a pleasant scene.
