The line that incited the imagery that best represents the meaning of the poem in slam dunk hook is "Dribble, drive to the inside,".

What informs the poem?

"Slam, Dunk, & Hook" is a poem of forty short, unrhymed lines. The poem is overtly about a group of young African American men playing basketball in the Deep South during the 1950s or 1960s. The narrator is a member of the group and includes himself in the descriptions.

The lines that best represent the meaning of the poem in the context of a slam dunk hook are:

"Dribble, drive to the inside,

& glide like a sparrow hawk.

Lay ups. Fast breaks."

These lines vividly describe the physicality and agility involved in the game, highlighting the skillful movements, quick drives, and the smooth glide akin to a sparrow hawk. Therefore, looking at the given lines from the poem, it could be concluded that the correct answer is option D. Dribble, drive to the inside,".

Complete question:

Which of the following line incited imagery the best represents the meaning of the poem in slam dunk hook

We outmaneuvered to footwork

Labyrinth our bodies

Muscles were a bright motor

Dribble, drive to the inside,

Through a lyric slipknot
