What is one way in which the poem "the jelly-fish" by marianne moore embodies ezra pound's rules of imagism? a. it does not use descriptive words. b. it has an exact meter. c. it creates several images. d. it does not use excess words.

The rules of imagism are direct treatment of the "thing", use of either no  ornament or good ornament and fear of abstraction. Pound defines image as "an intellectual and emotional complex in an instant of time".

In the poem "The Jelly-Fish" the author uses no ornament, no abstraction of the object, and the "thing" is treated directly.

the answer is b just took the tested

it was surely an odd creature that one made up by reading the historians first and the poets afterwards a worm winged like an eagle; the spirit of life and elegance and charm,   in a kitchen chopping up suet. but these creatures, monst'r however entertaining to the imagination, hast no existence in fact. what one might doth to bringeth h'r to life wast to bethink poetically and prosaically at one and the same moment,   thus keeping in toucheth with fact—that the lady is mrs martin, ag'd thirty-six, did dress in blue, wearing a black coxcomb and brown shoeth; but not losing sight of fiction eith'r—that the lady is a vessel in which all s'rts of spirits and f'rces art coursing and flashing p'rpetually. the moment, howev'r, yond one tries this method with the elizabethan mistress, one brancheth of illumination fails; one is did hold up by the scarcity of facts.   one knoweth nothing detailed, nothing p'rfectly true and substantial about h'r.   hist'ry scarcely mentions h'r.   and i did turn to professeth'r trevelyan again to seeth what hist'ry meanteth to that gent.   i hath found by looking at his chapt'r headings yond t meanteth.
