Question

Read paragraph 2 in the passage then write a brief explanation of the way the writer uses sentences variety to structure or add impact to a paragraph

(1) "Good on ya, mate," Dez, the pilot, says as
I scramble to get the landing gear in order. "I
reckon we'll have a dinkum go at it!"
(2) The russet blast furnace of the Australian
outback fills my nostrils with superheated wind
and my mouth with iron shavings as the sweat
pops in pearls across my arms once I leave
the cool interior of Dez's bush plane, where I
find flat, silent nothingness in every direction.
We're near Alice Springs in January, which is
considered the Australian summer, where
temperatures range from 95 to 104 degrees.

Answer 1

In the second paragraph of the passage, the writer uses sentence variety to structure the paragraph and add impact to the description of the Australian outback. The first sentence is a short, punchy dialogue that sets the scene and introduces the pilot. The second sentence is a longer, more descriptive sentence that uses sensory details to paint a vivid picture of the environment. The third sentence is a short, fragmented sentence that emphasizes the physical discomfort of the narrator. The fourth sentence is a longer sentence that provides more information about the location and time of year. Together, these sentences create a rhythm and flow that draw the reader into the story and help them visualize the setting.
