read the passage from \the latin deli: an ars poetica.\
all wanting the comfort
of spoken spanish, to gaze upon the family portrait
of her plain wide face, her ample bosom
resting on her plump arms, her look of maternal interest
as they speak to her and each other
of their dreams and their disillusions—
in this passage, the words \ample\ and \plump\ are
○ sensory images that describe a wealthy person.
○ sensory images that describe a motherly figure.
○ words that express an attitude of respect.
○ words that express an attitude of disgust.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the passage. The words "ample" (bosom) and "plump" (arms) describe physical features. The phrase "maternal interest" shows a motherly figure. Sensory images (visual, here) are used to depict her. Option 1: "wealthy" is not supported. Option 3: "respect" isn't conveyed by these words. Option 4: "disgust" is wrong as the tone is warm. So the correct option is the one about sensory images describing a motherly figure.

Answer:

B. sensory images that describe a motherly figure (assuming the options are labeled A - D with this as one, but based on the content, the correct choice is the option stating sensory images describe a motherly figure)
