Explanation:

Imagery is descriptive language that appeals to the senses. "he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth" appeals to the sense of sight (visualizing rocks and earth). "the Moon rose big and full over the water" also appeals to sight (visualizing the moon). "Ho! Fisher of the Moon" creates a vivid mental picture (visualizing someone fishing the moon). The first option is just dialogue and the fourth is more of a statement without strong sensory - rich description.

Answer:

B. "he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth", C. "the Moon rose big and full over the water", E. "Ho! Fisher of the Moon"
