Read the passage.
excerpt from Chapter XII in The Innocents Abroad by Mark Twain
We had such glimpses of the Rhone gliding along between its grassy banks; of cosy cottages buried in flowers and shrubbery; of quaint old red-tiled villages with mossy medieval cathedrals looming out of their midst; of wooded hills with ivy-grown towers and turrets of feudal castles projecting above the foliage; such glimpses of Paradise, it seemed to us, such visions of fabled fairyland!
How does the imagery in this excerpt affect the meaning?
It proves that the narrator is a reliable observer.
It connects the French landscape with other landscapes on earth.
It makes the French countryside seem like a magical, unspoiled place.
It shows that happiness can be found even in unlikely spots.
