Explanation:

Analyze the sensory details in the excerpt

The passage describes a lush, thriving garden with words like "golden life," "fruit trees... grew great and bent beneath their clusters," "grape vines thickened into brawny ropes," and "flowers grew in rioting glory." These descriptions emphasize abundance, growth, and natural wealth.

Evaluate the relationship between imagery and meaning

The sensory details focus heavily on "bountiful blooms" (flowers in rioting glory, velvet-leaved nasturtium, rose, snowball, tulip, lily) and "harvests" (peach, plum, cherry, apple, grape vines). This rich, fertile growth symbolizes agricultural success and natural abundance rather than materialism, artistic talent, or frozen time.

Answer:

• excess and riches, to suggest interest in materialism.
• bountiful blooms and harvests, to suggest agricultural success. (Correct answer)
• colorful visions and sceneries, to suggest artistic aptitude.
• climbing vines and fruit, to suggest time standing still.
