What does the term image encompass in literature?

A factual statement about an event
A mental picture created by skilled word choice
A statistical representation of data
A summary of the main idea

The correct answer is: A mental picture created by skilled word choice

The term "image" in literature refers to the mental pictures, sensations, or feelings that are evoked in the reader's mind through the use of vivid and descriptive language. Skilled word choice enhances the imagery by appealing to the senses, allowing readers to visualize scenes, feel emotions, and engage their imagination. This creates a strong connection to the text, making it memorable and impactful. For instance, when an author describes a sunset using specific colors, sounds, and textures, the reader can picture that moment and may even feel the warmth of the fading sun or hear the tranquil sounds of the evening. This sensory detail distinguishes literary imagery from simple facts or summaries, which do not aim to create a sensory experience.
