Explanation:

Question 5

Sensory description involves using details that appeal to the five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell). "She heard the birds chirping outside" appeals to the sense of hearing. The other options: "Sarah bought a car" is a simple action, "The sky was blue" is a sight but less sensory - rich in description, and "The waves crashed against the cliffs" is more of an action description without clear sensory focus compared to the hearing - based one.

Vivid language uses descriptive and imaginative words to create a clear mental image. "The icy wind whispered through the trees" uses personification ("whispered") and descriptive adjective ("icy") to make the scene more vivid. The other options ("The dog barked", "The sun rose") are simple and lack vivid descriptive elements.

Answer:

D. She heard the birds chirping outside.
