Read the passage. "...it illuminated within itself the six- or eight-foot-long bodies of twisting sharks." Which best explains how the use of the underlined term adds to the meaning of the passage? It creates a calm image. It allows the reader to imagine what death is like. It brings beauty to a passage dedicated to danger and fear. It illustrates the author's use of alliteration.

  The use of imagenology in literature, both prose and poetry, is a technique that has the purpose of communicating a message but through a visual experience and through imagination. Literally, in this passage, there is the mention of two images: the first, illumination, which brings forward the idea of visibility, and even more so, of underlining the importance of what is being shown. The second image is created by the description of the enormous and dangerous animals that swim inside and which represent both danger and fear. Through light and the idea of those dangerous animals, the author is trying to put forward the message of those fears that lurk inside and that might harm us. The correct answer then is C because light allows for colors to come through and it turns the shadows of fears (the twisting sharks) to be seen through the idea of hope.
