Treasure Island (an excerpt) 
by Robert Louis Stevenson

I remember him as if it were yesterday, as he came plodding to the inn door, his sea-chest following behind him in a hand-barrow – a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails, and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white. I remember him looking round the cover and whistling to himself as he did so, and then breaking out in that old sea-song that he sang so often afterwards.
What does the IMAGERY used in the first paragraph tell the reader about the captain?

• He is in need of first aid.
• He is likely carrying treasure in his sea-chest.
• He has grown frail and tired with old age.
• He has had a rough and adventurous life.

"The Monkey Paw" by W. W. Jacobs
Neither spoke, but lay silently listening to the ticking of the clock. A stair creaked, and a squeaky mouse scurried noisily through the wall. The darkness was oppressive, and after lying for some time gathering up courage, he took the box of matches, and striking one, went downstairs  for a candle.
At the foot of the stairs the match went out, and he paused to strike another; and at the samee moment a knock so quiet and stealthy as to be scarcely audible, sounded on the front door.
The matches fell from his hand. He stood motionless, his breath suspended.......
Choose the phrase from the passage that appeals to your sense of hearing.

• "he took the box of matches"
• "went downstairs for a candle"
• "squeaky mouse scurried noisily"
• The matches fell from his hand.

"The  Eagle" by Alfred Lord Tennyson
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands
Ring'd with the azure world he stands
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
