Question

Read the excerpt from Heart of a Samurai. Manjiro squinted across the expanse of glittering sea at the line of dark clouds forming on the horizon. Which words best help the reader imagine the sea?

Answer 1

Beyond the glittery horizon the sea line forms a dark cloud.

Answer 2

Answer:

I believe that the best words that help a reader imagine the sea, and its vastness, as well as its unending power, are: across the expanse of gliterring sea.

Explanation:

I believe that these words are the best  to express and help a reader imagine the sea, as Manjiro is seeing it, and experiencing it, in his adventures in "Hear of a Samurai", because the specific clue words, expanse, and glittering, accompanying the word "sea", allows a person to understand the characteristics of the sea itself, and not the weather phenomena being formed before the character´s eyes. Expanse, in regards to the sea, makes the reader imagine the vastness of the sea, and glittering, allows the reader to think about sparkling water, both characteristics of the sea.
