Which statement best evaluates the effect of adding descriptive detail in the
second version of the passage?
Passage 1:
"Ready or not, here I come!" I walked around, checked behind the
curtains, and then picked up each couch cushion. I tried not to laugh
when I heard a noise from behind the couch. Then I walked behind the
couch. "There you are!" Jaxon ran straight to my arms.
Passage 2:
"Ready or not, here I come!" Walking slowly around the living room, I
glanced behind the curtains and then playfully peeked under each
couch cushion. "Wow, Jaxon is such a good hider! I'll never find him," I
said aloud, trying to keep my laughter to myself. A giggle escaped
from behind the couch. "I wonder if he could be hiding behind here."
With that, I jumped around the couch and exclaimed, "There you are!"
Thrilled to be found, Jaxon jumped up and ran straight to my arms.
