Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in this excerpt from Ambrose Bierce's “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge”

refers to the reality of Farquhar’s situation in the dream sequence he envisions? They tore it away and thrust it fiercely aside, its undulations resembling those of a water snake. "Put it back, put it back!" He thought he shouted these words to his hands, for the undoing of the noose had been succeeded by the direst pang that he had yet experienced. His neck ached horribly; his brain was on fire, his heart, which had been fluttering faintly, gave a great leap, trying to force itself out at his mouth. His whole body was racked and wrenched with an insupportable anguish! But his disobedient hands gave no heed to the command. They beat the water vigorously with quick, downward strokes, forcing him to the surface. He felt his head emerge; his eyes were blinded by the sunlight; his chest expanded convulsively, and with a supreme and crowning agony his lungs

The following is an example of how to use descriptive language to describe the first 19 days of January. Since the answer is supposed to be personal and it varies depending on where you live, adapt this example to suit your reality:

The first 19 days of January were a beautiful contrast painted by nature. Although days were short, whenever the sun came out, it did it with gusto. Sunlight poured down onto the snow, the frozen sidewalks and slippery roads, filtered by the branches of leafless trees in the forest nearby.

In the early morning, if felt as if the world had hibernated and was struggling to wake up. The silence outside was deafening. Slowly, as the sun crept up in the sky, people and animals seemed to lazily stretch out of their sleepiness.

<h3>What is descriptive language?</h3>
  • Descriptive language gives sensorial details in order to make images and sensations more vivid to the reader. Compare the two sentences below:
  1. It was a warm day and Jason sat under a tree.
  2. Beads of sweat rolled down Jason's neck as he sat under the palm tree. The yellowish sun rays were slightly deflected by the huge, jagged leaves.
  • The first sentence does not use descriptive language. It states directly what the weather is like and what Jason is doing.
  • The second sentence, on the other hand, really describes what is happening. We can really see and feel how hot it is when we imagine the drops of sweat and the yellowish sunlight.
