okay so when it asks "evaluate how this poem uses imagery to evoke an emotion..." or speciifcally like irony

I would think imagery = visuals, which makes the reader imagine the scenery and evoke emotions thanks to this meduim, its like how music makes u sad so does images.

u could talk about the diff types of imagery- visual, olfactory, gustatory, auditory...as well as the tone of the composer (effect)
and adjectives/diction (word choices) that create these images of a particular thing
idk but i rlly hate these types of questions

Because imagery is a very broad technique (simply defined, it is visually descriptive language), you can use other techniques to support how imagery is used. For example, there may be metaphors, similes, symbolism, contrast, all of which can be used by a poet or author to show imagery, sort of as a support
