Answer 1

The description in the sentence uses precise language to describe what Tan saw.

Step-by-step explanation:

The description in the sentence "She was pulling black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns." uses precise language to describe what Tan saw. The use of the words "black veins" and "fleshy prawns" create a vivid image in the reader's mind and provide specific details about the scene. This precision helps the reader visualize and understand the experience.

The sentence does not contain a detail that appeals to the sense of taste, as it only describes the action of pulling veins out of prawns, and does not mention anything about the taste of the prawns.

The sentence also does not use figurative language or contain a simile. It is a straightforward statement describing the action of removing veins from prawns. Figurative language would involve using metaphors or similes to compare the prawns to something else.
