In the autumn of 1874, the Kiowas were driven southward
towards the Staked Plains. Columns of troops were converging
upon them from all sides, and they were bone-weary and afraid.
They camped on Elk Creek, and the next day it began to rain. It
rained hard all that day, and the Kiowas waited on horseback for
the weather to clear. Then, as evening came on, the earth was
suddenly crawling with spiders, great black tarantulas, swarming
on the flood.
Which sentence best describes one effect of the poet's use of imagery in this
excerpt?
O A. It indicates the year in which the confrontation happened.
O B. It suggests that the Kiowas have been victimized by U. S. troops.
O C. It shows how many spiders came out in the evening.
D. It makes the scene come alive by describing Elk Creek in detail.
