Question

Read the excerpt from Dispatches.

Answer 1

The sensory details in the excerpt evoke a sense of...:

...awe and wonder.

There's description of mysterious lights, as well as flares and sparks. The adjective choices show awe and wonder: great, dead white, intense, white-hot, brilliant... Plus, there is a quite meaningful direct comparison here: "it seemed as though anything caught in their range would be made still, like figures in a game of living statues." The fact the author talks about "living statues" also shows awe and wonder.
