Question

HURRY ASAP) What does the descriptive language in this passage

help readers to visualize?
Read the excerpt from The Call of the Wild.
A poor substitute for food was this hide, just as it had
been stripped from the starved horses of the cattlemen
six months back. In its frozen state it was more like
strips of galvanized iron, and when a dog wrestled it
into his stomach it thawed into thin and innutritious
leathery strings and into a mass of short hair, irritating
and indigestible.
O how dry and tough the meat is
O how freezing the weather is
O how thin and sick the horses are
O how hungry the cattlemen are

Answer 1

O How dry and tough the meat is .

Step-by-step explanation:

Descriptive language is the use of certain words that gives a clear and more descriptive image of what is being discussed or talked about. It provides in-depth detail about how something looks.

In the given passage from Jack London's "The Call of the Wild", the descriptive language shows how dry and tough the meat is. This is evident from the phrases like "In its frozen state it was more like strips of galvanized iron" and how hard it must have been, considering the narrator's comment that "when a dog wrestled it into his stomach it thawed into thin and innutritious leathery strings and into a mass of short hair, irritating and indigestible."

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
