Question

which phrases include sensory language? select three answers.
□ the breeze last night
□ the softly drifting snow
□ the bumpy, twisted tree
□ the newly bought car
□ the rabbit next door
□ the scarred, stained rug

Explanation:

Sensory language uses words that appeal to the five senses (touch, sight, sound, smell, taste).

1. "the softly drifting snow" appeals to sight (visual of movement) and touch (implied softness).
2. "the bumpy, twisted tree" appeals to touch (bumpy texture) and sight (twisted shape).
3. "the scarred, stained rug" appeals to sight (visual marks) and touch (implied texture of scars/stains).

The other phrases are factual descriptions without sensory details.

Answer:

• the softly drifting snow
• the bumpy, twisted tree
• the scarred, stained rug
