question 2
which of the following best describes the style of this
passage?
complex and ornate
simple and descriptive
conversational and exaggerated
technical and academic
the dolphin glided up next to me at the dock,
looking at me sideways. i eased my hand along her
smooth back, which felt like a firm, wet inner tube.
she took one last look at me and disappeared into
the cool, blue water.

Explanation:

The passage uses simple language like "glided up", "smooth back" and "cool, blue water" to describe the interaction with the dolphin. It creates a vivid picture (descriptive) without complex or ornate words, isn't conversational (no dialogue-like flow) or exaggerated (no over - the - top statements), and lacks technical/academic jargon.

Answer:

simple and descriptive
