Question

Once it chanced that I stood in the very abutment of a rainbow’s arch, which filled the lower stratum of the atmosphere, tinging the grass and leaves around, and dazzling me as if I looked through colored crystal. It was a lake of rainbow light, in which, for a short while, I lived like a dolphin. If it had lasted longer it might have tinged my employments and life. Which is the best example of a vivid sensory detail?

Answer 1

The correct answer is D) it was a lake of rainbow light.

The best example of a vivid sensory detail is "it was a lake of Rainbow light."

When writers use vivid sensory detail in their works, they are trying to engage and affect the emotions of the reader. To accomplish this, the author needs to include sensory details of sound, sight, smell, and taste, so the author can transport the reader into the reality he/she is creating. That is why a vivid sensory detail is could be "a lake of Rainbow light." It is so visual, it has no added explanation.

The other options of the question were A) once it chanced that I stood. B) if it had lasted longer. C) which, for a short while.

Answer 2

The best example of vivid sensory would be "it was a lake of rainbow light"
