Which figurative language comes across most clearly in this excerpt from T. S. Eliot's "Preludes"? The winter evening settles down
With smell of steaks in passageways.

And at the corner of the street
A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps.
And then the lighting of the lamps.

A. irony
B. imagery
C. repetition
D. hyperbole
E. euphemism
