4vir4ik [10]

This question is incomplete. Its full version is:

On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle that covered the porch and fell on my upturned face. My fingers lingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me.  

Which answer choice best describes the imagery in the excerpt?

  1. Sensory details appeal to the reader's sense of hearing.
  2. A metaphor creates a visual image for the reader.
  3. A simile creates a visual image for the reader.

Tems11 [23]
The language convention that the author used to separate the declarative sentence from the disruptive phrase in this excerpt are em dashes.
The disruptive phrase is everything separated from the rest of the sentence by these dashes - "so called because they used to, like, declare things to be true, okay, as opposed to other things are, like, totally, you know, not." This phrase disrupts the natural flow of the sentence by being randomly embedded in it.
