Question

how can a writer edit a narrative to include vivid imagery? select three options.
□ use specific, strong verbs in place of general ones
□ use dialogue to develop the character
□ use descriptive words that appeal to the readers senses
□ use setting to place the story for the reader
□ use active voice to show instead of tell the reader

Explanation:

1. Specific strong verbs create precise, vivid mental pictures instead of vague general terms.
2. Sensory descriptive words directly engage the reader's sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell, which is core to vivid imagery.
3. Active voice shows actions unfolding, making scenes feel immediate and vivid rather than just telling about them. Dialogue and basic setting placement focus on character/story context, not imagery specifically.

Answer:

• use specific, strong verbs in place of general ones
• use descriptive words that appeal to the reader's senses
• use active voice to show instead of tell the reader
