Question

Which detail uses sensory words to describe Akela? Father Wolf waited till his cubs could run a little, and then on the night of the Pack Meeting took them and Mowgli and Mother Wolf to the Council Rock – a hilltop covered with stones and boulders where a hundred wolves could hide. Akela, the great gray Lone Wolf, who led all the Pack by strength and cunning, lay out at full length on his rock, and below him sat forty or more wolves of every size and colour, from badger-coloured veterans who could handle a buck alone, to young black three-year-olds who thought they could. The Lone Wolf had led them for a year now. He had fallen twice into a wolf-trap in his youth, and once he had been beaten and left for dead; so he knew the manners and customs of men. Which detail uses sensory words to describe Akela? a hilltop covered with stones and boulders who led all the Pack by strength and cunning lay out at full length on his rock from badger-coloured veterans

Answer 2

The detail that uses sensory words to describe Akela is:

C. out at full length on his rock.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sensory words are words or phrases that appeal to one of more of our five senses: sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. Having that in mind, we can use elimination to answer this question:

A. a hilltop covered with stones and boulders - may appeal to sight, but does not refer to Akela. This option is incorrect.

B. who led all the Pack by strength and cunning - does refer to Akela, but does not appeal to any of the five senses. The words "strength" and "cunning" demand a different kind of interpretation from readers. This option is incorrect.

C. out at full length on his rock - this is the correct option. We can imagine Akela lying down on the rock; we can even see the position of his body because of this description. Imagine your dog or cat, for instance, lying down on the floor, with his/her belly's whole extension touching the floor.

D. from badger-coloured veterans - again, does appeal to the senses, but does not refer to Akela. This option is incorrect.
