Answer:

The road crew shoveled sticky black tar that shimmered in the summer heat.

Explanation:

The use of descriptive language appeals to the readers in all of their senses, meaning a piece of text is describe in such a manner it makes the reader feel as if they're actually witnessing the scene with their physical presence.

Regarding the answer, the black tar receiving the action by the subject has its color (black) and visual effect (shimmering) described as how a reader might observe it were they part of the situation. The tar's consistecy (sticky) is also described to let the reader know how it would feel to the touch.

<em>This is the most descriptive option of the four.</em>
