Question

Which of the following passages includes a sensory detail for sight? At last, when the ship we were in, had got in all her cargo, they made ready with many fearful noises, and we were all put under deck, so we could not see how they managed the vessel. The stench of the hold while we were on the coast was so intolerably loathsome that it was dangerous to remain there for any time, and some of us had been permitted to stay on the deck for fresh air. When I looked round the ship too, and saw a large furnace of copper boiling, and a multitude of black people of every description chained together... None of the Above

Answer 1

"A large furnace of copper boiling, and a multitude of black people of every description chained together."

Sight, the sensory detail for sight. Obviously, sight would be a descriptive set of words that paint a picture in the readers head. We look for words such as "I saw, or see."

I found this by noticing the author states, "and SAW," so I knew a sensory sight description followed.

These also use many adjectives to describe a situation, such as, the whispering wind clawed at the leafless branches, with every enraged shudder, winter drew near.

Now, this is something I've just written on the whim, but we notice sensory adjectives such as "whispering," "clawed," "leafless," and "drew," as it describes a scene.

Hope this helped!!
