Question

Which answer provides the best example of vivid sensory detail?

A) I have always wanted to be an airline pilot, but I was never sure I could do the job.
B) Red roses bloomed boldly in the wet, gray mist, scenting the air with nectar.
C) The last time we talked, she told me strange things about herself.
D) All the houses on the block were built to the specifications of a given blueprint.

Answer 1

The answer is Part B as that is the most descriptive.

Answer 2

The second alternative is correct (B).

A sentence that sharpens the senses is usually characterized by the description of colors, smells, physical characteristics that make the reader imagine that description.

In alternative B, the sensory details are summoned, when describing a red rose blooming and exuding perfume in a humid environment. Just close your eyes and see the scene.

The other alternatives do not present sensory statements.
