A)the ordinary language as in remember and gone

B)the abstract idea of "the silent land"

C)the first-person singular perspective

D)the sentiment of remembering someone who has left

Verified Answer :

I would say they would have disliked the abstract idea of "the silent land". Because imagists liked precision and clear, descriptive language, and this is just too abstract for them.

Answer:

The correct answer is B) the abstract idea of the “Silent Land”.


Explanation:

Christina Rossetti wrote two famous poems which were "Goblin Market" and "Remember". The poem "remember" was written to depict a self-portrait of the principal character that is contemplating his own death. On the other hand, the imaginists were American writers that supported precision the description of moments and concepts; thus, these people disliked the abstract idea of a “Silent Land”.
