Explanation:

A vivid sensory detail uses language that appeals to the five senses (sight, sound, touch, taste, smell) to create a concrete, immersive image. The option describes a physical sensation (knees giving out, feeling like collapsing) that appeals to the sense of touch/physical feeling, making it a specific sensory detail. The other options are either general statements of emotion or goal-oriented thoughts without sensory specificity.

Answer:

○ "I thought my knees would give out and I would collapse."
