Question

1. which statement is true about sensory details?

sensory details help a reader clearly visualize what is happening.
sensory details compare one thing to another to improve precision.
sensory details are words or phrases that mention one of the senses directly.
sensory details answer \who?\ \what?\ \where?\ \when?\ \how?\ or \why?\

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Sensory details (descriptions using sight, sound, touch, etc.) help readers visualize scenes, events, or objects clearly. This matches the purpose of sensory details.
• Option 2: Comparing one thing to another is a simile/metaphor (figurative language), not sensory details. Eliminate.
• Option 3: Sensory details can be implicit (e.g., "the room was icy" implies touch) or explicit. The definition here is too narrow. Eliminate.
• Option 4: Answering "Who? What? Where? When? How? Why?" relates to basic information or journalism, not sensory details. Eliminate.

Answer:

Sensory details help a reader clearly visualize what is happening.
