Read this excerpt from "Foreign Lands": Up into the cherry tree Who should climb but little me? I held the trunk with both my hands And looked abroad on foreign lands. I saw the next-door garden lie, Adorned with flowers, before my eye, And many pleasant places more That I had never seen before. I saw the dimpling river pass And be the sky's blue looking-glass; The dusty roads go up and down With people tramping in to town. If I could find a higher tree Farther and farther I should see, To where the grown-up river slips Into the sea among the ships, To where the roads on either hand Lead onward into fairyland, Where all the children dine at five, And all the playthings come alive. What is the effect of Robert Louis Stevenson's use of figurative language in this stanza? A. It shows that the author can predict the future. B. It emphasizes the dreamlike qualities of the speaker's imagination. C. It highlights the speaker's experiences of visiting many distant places. D. It illustrates what the speaker observes while gazing down from the tree. (D is the correct choice as it describes what the speaker sees while looking down from the tree, which aligns with the poem's narrative of imagining distant lands from an elevated viewpoint.)
