Which statement about symbolism is true?

A.) Symbolism is used by authors who do not know how to draw.
B.) Symbolism only appears in poetry.
C.) Symbolism is synonymous with imagery.
D.) Symbolism unlocks all of our associations with a particular image.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is D. Symbolism unlocks all of our associations with a particular image. I got this answer using the system of elimination. A is incorrect because symbolism has to do with literature, not drawing. B is incorrect as it can appear in prose too. C is incorrect because they do not represent the same things - imagery is there to create a vivid picture, whereas symbolism can expand on an idea, and not a picture.
