Which statement best explains how effectively the passage uses vivid
description?
I grabbed my best friend's arm as we walked through the doors of the
Horror House. It was our volunteer fire department's haunted house
fund-raiser, and somehow Beth had managed to talk me into exploring
the hallways of terror, saying it would be fun. Yeah, right. As I tried to
hide my body behind my friend's, I realized that being in a creepy house
was not my idea of a good time.

tone, reassuring the reader that there is nothing to fear.
O c. The vivid description is not effective, because it does not include
descriptions that help the reader create a mental picture of the
scene.

images that are easy for the reader to visualize.
