I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The poetic device that is used in the sentence would most likely be an hyperbole. This type of device are exaggerated statements that are not meant to be taken seriously. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer: C) imagery.

Explanation: Imagery is a literary device that consists in the use of figurative language or detailed descriptions in order to evoke the senses of the reader (sight, smell, taste, hearing, or touch) and to create a mental picture. In the given sentence, we can see an example of imagery in the way that the speaker describes the environment (cool breeze, green leaves, tall maple, clear stream).
