Question

Which statement best evaluates the effect of adding sensory language in the

second version of the passage?
Passage 1:
"Yay! I hide first." Jaxon yelled and turned to leave. I started counting
but kept my eyes open to see where he was going. I could see his head
sticking out from behind the couch, and then he pulled it back.
Passage 2:
"Yay! I hide first," Jaxon squealed and clapped his hands, and then he
took off running through the house. I started counting slowly and
loudly, but peeked so I could keep my eyes on his whereabouts. His
blond head bobbled behind the couch and then disappeared.
A. It makes the passage more hopeful because it shows Jaxon's
excitement for the game.
B. It makes the passage more confusing because it does not include
details about the setting of the house.
C. It makes the passage more stressful because the reader realizes
that the characters are in danger
D. It makes the passage more realistic because the reader can sed
and hear the characters actions.

Answer 1

Adding sensory language to the passage enriches the narrative with realistic and immersive descriptions, allowing the reader to see and hear the characters' actions more vividly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The effect of adding sensory language in the second version of the passage is that it makes the passage more realistic because the reader can see and hear the characters' actions. Sensory details such as 'squealed', 'clapped his hands', 'running', and 'blond head bobbled' bring the story to life and allow readers to create a more vivid mental picture. These immersive descriptions use auditory and visual imagery to enrich the narrative, making Jaxon's excitement and the game of hide-and-seek more dynamic and engaging. By utilizing descriptions that engage the senses, the passage becomes a richer, more compelling reading experience.
