Question

Read the sentence.Returning home from the trip, we peeled off our sodden coats, dropped all of our suitcases on the floor, and headed for the kitchen in the back.Which part of the sentence uses description to hold the reader’s interest?

Answer 1

The answer to the question above is this: "we peeled off our sodden coats". This is the part of the sentence that makes use of a description in order to hold the interest of the reader. This is the only part of the sentence that uses exaggeration in order to catch the attention of the reader. Like the use of the term "peeled off" which is an exaggerated expression for the term "take off". The word "sodden" here intensifies the description of being wet.
