Answer:

d) Both A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Shea Stutler uses both sensory details, interesting adjectives (A) and figurative language and vivid verbs (C) in this essay.

Here are some examples.

Sensory details: a blur of color; the warm ... scent of popcorn; a cacophony; once airborne, they were a soaring sight to behold; I felt the rush of wind on my face; the musky scent of cologne; the tactile sense had kicked in: punching and shoving of young lions..., bodies brushing by each other, and the gentle touch of hand on arm.

Interesting adjectives: dusty, cobwebbed memories; nostalgic scent; exuberant teenagers; skinny ... benches; the musky scent; a statuesque blonde.

Figurative language: a grace not unlike the albatross (simile and litotes, i.e. using double negatives to make a positive statement, or in this case, to make a comparison); a swirl of communication (metaphor); like kids playing dress up in their parents' clothes (simile); young lions, young ladies (alliteration).

Vivid verbs: swaggered, stumbled, flocked, behold, was mesmerized.
