Which figurative language comes across most clearly in this excerpt from T. S. Eliot's "Preludes"? The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.
Six o'clock.
The burnt-out ends of smoky days.
And now a gusty shower wraps
The grimy scraps
Of withered leaves about your feet
And newspapers from vacant lots;
The showers beat
On broken blinds and chimney-pots,
And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.
And then the lighting of the lamps.

A. irony
B. imagery
C. repetition
D. hyperbole
E. euphemism
