Answer 1

Answer:

This excerpt from The Stranger is an example of imagery. The correct answer is the third one.

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device used for describing an object or a scene, or a feeling in order to create a defined image of it in the reader's mind. It means to use figurative language to represent objects, actions and ideas in a way that it appeals to our physical senses. In this excerpt, the writer describes the man with such detail that it is very easy for the reader to build a vivid image of the man in the reader's mind.
