Question

Imagery appeals mainly to the reader's _____.

knowledge of literature and history
intellect
interest in rhythm
five senses

Answer 1

The correct option is: "five senses"

An image (from the Latin imago) is a visual representation, which manifests the visual appearance of a real or imaginary object. Although the term is usually understood as synonymous with visual representation, it is also applied as an extension for other types of perception, such as auditory, olfactory, tactile, synesthesia, etc. images.

Answer 2

Depending slightly on the reader in question, imagery appeals mainly to the reader's "five senses," since it is imagery that, if done properly, can invoke all these various feelings in the reader's mind.
