Answer: A) descriptive details, B) sensory language, and C) imagery.

Explanation: Descriptive details is the use of adjectives to allow sensory recreations of experiences, objects, or imaginings. Sensory language and imagery consist in the use of figurative language or detailed descriptions in order to evoke the senses of the reader (sight, taste, hearing, touch, or smell) and to create a mental picture. All this elements help the writer to show readers a story's setting.
