Read the excerpt from H. G. Wells's The War of the Worlds 2.

But, looking, I presently saw something stirring within the shadow: greyish billowy movements,
one above another, and then two luminous disks-like eyes. Then something resembling a little
grey snake, about the thickness of a walking stick, coiled up out of the writhing middle, and
wriggled in the air towards me-and then another.
How does the author create an aesthetic impact in the excerpt?
O through scientific explanation
O through colorful description
o through realistic dialogue
O through a comforting tone

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

through colorful description.

Something stirring within the shadow

greyish billowy movements

two luminous disks like eyes

something resembling a little grey snake

about the thickness of a walking stick.

How much more graphic do you need it? It's not scientific. and it could be be realistic if the subject wasn't an alien. There is nothing comforting in the tone. If you actually saw this thing, you'd be horrified.
