Question

What does an author's descriptive language help readers to imagine? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

Sound, smell, taste.

Explanation:

Descriptive language is the use of language by a writer in such a way that it enables the readers to see, taste, feel, or imagine how a character is or what he feels or what is being done. This technique or use of language helps in painting a picture without the need for the writer to directly state it for us.

The different forms of descriptive language that a writer can employ in his/ her writing is through the use of language using the five senses namely the sense of taste, touch, smell, sight, and sound. It is through these sensory details that we can picture the scene or the characters of the story.

Thus, the correct answers are sounds, smells, and tastes.
