The correct answer is B) her eyelids wavered and let in streamers of blue-gray light like tissue paper over her eyes.

The passage from "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" that shows imagery is "her eyelids wavered and let in streamers of blue-gray light like tissue paper over her eyes."

American writer Katherine Ann Porter is the author of "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall," published in 1930 in the book "Flowering Judas and Other Stories." The story has many symbols and uses irony to describe social situations through psychological analysis. It refers to the story of a woman that has resisted all the things that have happened in her life.
