Question

Select the correct text in the passage.

Which four words in the passage are examples of sensory details?

Winter may be a beautiful season visually, but it is not the easiest to experience. During winter the ground lies cold and hard beneath the surface of snow and frost. The sleeping trees shed all their leaves and appear brown and bare. The dry stems of dead plants rustle in the strong winds. The air turns bitterly cold as the sunlight fades and nights become longer. Most animals hibernate during the season, while others seek shelter in warm places. As a result, you see fewer wild animals in the winter.
