Question

read the quotation from henry david thoreaus walden.
once it chanced that i stood in the very abutment of a rainbows arch, which filled the lower stratum of the atmosphere, tinging the grass and leaves around, and dazzling me as if i looked through colored crystal. it was a lake of rainbow light, in which, for a short while, i lived like a dolphin. if it had lasted longer it might have tinged my employments and life.
which is the best example of a vivid sensory detail?
○ \once it chanced that i stood\
○ \if it had lasted longer\
○ \which, for a short while\
○ \it was a lake of rainbow light\

Explanation:

Sensory detail uses language to appeal to the five senses. The option "It was a lake of rainbow light" creates a clear, visual image that directly engages the sense of sight, making it the most vivid sensory detail compared to the other more narrative or conditional phrases.

Answer:

"It was a lake of rainbow light"
