Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine the best vivid sensory detail, we analyze each option:

  • "my house was not finished for winter" is a statement about the house's state, not sensory.
  • "when its timbers were saturated with dew" appeals to the sense of sight (and touch, as saturation implies a tactile feel) by describing the timbers' condition with dew, creating a vivid image.
  • "When first I took up my abode" is a narrative introduction, not sensory.
  • "which made it cool at night" describes a result (temperature) but less vividly than the dew - saturated timbers.

Answer:

"when its timbers were saturated with dew"
