what image does the language in these lines create?
the language reduces the importance of the image being presented.
the language distracts the reader from the symbolic meaning of the words.
the language creates an image of starkness and isolation.
the language suggests an image of gloom and foreboding.

the answer is C, the language creates an image of starkness and isolation

The correct answer is The language creates an image of starkness and isolation.

Explanation:

The language used in these lines creates in the reader an image of starkness and isolation, since Emily Dickinson in this poem, Because I could not stop for Death is talking about death.

It could be interpreted that specifically in these lines she is talking about an open grave, which would be her next home, since she let death seduce her and take her.

Emily Dickinson was a lonely poetess who was characterized by writing poems about Death and Immortality.

Her writing was unique for that time, and she managed to become one of the greatest poetess in history, after her death.
