Answer:

B). I heard the pop and hiss of eggs in a pan coming from the kitchen.

E). As I sped up, the pavement under my feet offered less and less resistance until I felt like I was flying.

Explanation:

The chief concern of an author while writing is to behold the readers' interest and keep it intact until the end of the description. They employ words or diction in a manner that helps appeal to the senses of the readers and develop their interest in the narrative.

As per the question, the options B and E employs the description that holds the interest of the readers as it includes the sensory details and descriptions like 'pop', 'hiss', 'sped up', 'pavement under my feet', 'felt', etc. that helps the audience to visualize the representation or description and keep their interest unblemished. Thus, <u>options B and E</u> are the correct answer.

1. Read these lines from “The Darkling Thrush,” by Thomas Hardy.
Anastaziya [24]
The answer to 1 is imagery because the description helps us to better see the thrush through its use of adjectives.
The answer to 2 is sight, because we see gray rather than feel gray.
The answer for 3 is "is" because "dictionary" is a singular noun, not a plural noun. There is only one dictionary. 
The answer to 4 is "was" because "tourist" is a singular noun, not a plural noun. There is only one tourist.
The answer to 5 is "was" because there is only one Statue of Liberty. It is a singular noun. 
Remember, the general rule for singular/plural nouns is that plural nouns are usually attached with an "s" at the end. Although there are exceptions, it helps with most nouns.
