What is Zach's response to Lily's statement about hearing of these things before you can imagine them?

• A. You gotta imagine things that never been.
• B. I never thought of that.
• C. Imagine things you know already.
• D. You can't imagine such things.

Answer: (A)

Imagination and pushing beyond what you’ve heard or seen are being tested here. Zach’s reply shows him encouraging Lily to think beyond current experience and to picture possibilities that don’t exist yet. When he says “You gotta imagine things that never been,” he’s stressing that creativity starts in the mind—you imagine things that haven’t happened before, and that vision guides you toward understanding or achieving them. It’s a supportive, forward-looking moment that contrasts with simply repeating what’s already known.

The other lines don’t fit as well because they either express surprise, limit imagination to what’s familiar, or reject imagining new possibilities. This choice best captures Zach’s mindset of using imagination as a tool for withstanding and navigating unknowns.
