Answer:
d) Both A and C
Explanation:
Shea Stutler uses both sensory details, interesting adjectives (A) and figurative language and vivid verbs (C) in this essay.
Here are some examples.
Sensory details: a blur of color; the warm ... scent of popcorn; a cacophony; once airborne, they were a soaring sight to behold; I felt the rush of wind on my face; the musky scent of cologne; the tactile sense had kicked in: punching and shoving of young lions..., bodies brushing by each other, and the gentle touch of hand on arm.
Interesting <em>adjectives</em>: <em>dusty, cobwebbed</em> memories; <em>nostalgic</em> scent; <em>exuberant</em> teenagers; <em>skinny</em> ... benches; the <em>musky</em> scent; a <em>statuesque</em> blonde.
Figurative language: a grace not unlike the albatross (simile and litotes, i.e. using double negatives to make a positive statement, or in this case, to make a comparison); a swirl of communication (metaphor); like kids playing dress up in their parents' clothes (simile); young lions, young ladies (alliteration).
Vivid verbs: swaggered, stumbled, flocked, behold, was mesmerized.
