Select the correct text in the passage.

In this excerpt from Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which two phrases best demonstrate sensory

language?
Charlie Bucket stared around the gigantic room in which he now found himself. The place was like a witch's kitchen! All about him black metal
pots were boiling and bubbling on huge stoves, and kettles were hissing and pans were sizzling, and strange iron machines were clanking and
spluttering, and there were pipes running all over the ceiling and walls, and the whole place was filled with smoke and steam.
Mr. Wonka himself had suddenly become even more excited than usual, and anyone could see that this was the room he loved best of all. He
was hopping about among the saucepans and the machines like a child among his Christmas presents, not knowing which thing to look at first.
He lifted the lid from a huge pot and took a sniff; then he rushed over and dipped a finger into a barrel of sticky yellow stuff and had a taste;
then he skipped across to one of the machines and turned half a dozen knobs this way and that, then he peered anxiously through the glass
door of a gigantic oven, rubbing his hands and cackling with delight at what he saw inside. Then he ran over to another machine, a small shiny
affair that kept going phut-phut-phut-phut-phut, and every time it went phut, a large green marble dropped out of it into a basket on the floor.
At least it looked like a marble.
