Read the following excerpt from a narrative about a trip to an amusement park:

(1) Overhead, the roller coaster boomed down the tracks, shaking the ground beneath my feet. (2) The salty smell of hot dogs with mustard hit my nostrils and made my mouth water in anticipation. (3) I couldn’t wait to board the Pirate Ship ride. (4) In front of me, the rainbow lights on the Test Your Strength game zipped up and down in rhythm to the pop music blasting through the speakers.

Which sentence needs more descriptive details? Why?

A.
sentence 1; The reader can feel and hear the roller coaster but can’t see it.
B.
sentence 2; The smell of the hot dog isn’t described in an interesting way.
C.
sentence 3; The sentence doesn’t give the reader any details about the Pirate Ship ride.
D.
sentence 4; The reader doesn’t know the shape or size of the Test Your Strength game in front of the narrator.
