Select the correct answer. Read the adapted excerpt from the poem “On Imagination” by Phillis Wheatley. Imagination! who can sin

g thy force? Or who describe the swiftness of thy course? Soaring through air to find the bright abode, Th' empyreal palace of the thund'ring mode, We on thy pinions can surpass the wind, And leave the rolling universe behind: From star to star the mental optics rove, Measure the skies, and range the realms above. There in one view we grasp the mighty whole, Or with new worlds amaze th' unbounded soul. What does the speaker compare imagination to in the poem? A. a soaring bird B. the sky C. a cloud D. a sailing ship

The author compares imagination to a soaring bird in this poem (A). For example, the text states that "Or who describe the swiftness of thy course? Soaring through air to find the bright abode . . ." This quote from the text supports that the author uses imagination to refer to a soaring bird flying swiftly in the air.
