As used in the text, what does the word "evocative" most nearly mean?

A

forgettable

B

technical

C

colorless

D

suggestive

Correct Answer: D

Choice D is the best answer. The passage describes imagery that "transported viewers" and captured "emotional atmospheres." "Suggestive" means evoking feelings or ideas, fitting this power to create emotional impressions.

Choice A is incorrect because "forgettable" contradicts praised effectiveness. Choice B is incorrect because "technical" doesn't convey emotional power. Choice C is incorrect because "colorless" contradicts vivid imagery.
