Answer 1

C. Sensory

Sensory language is a way for the writer to make the reader see or connect with an image, description, action, or scene. It connects to the senses (sight, sound, smell, taste, touch).

An example in this piece of writing is 'The damp leaves', being connected to touch. 'A peppery scent' connecting to smell etc.
