Explanation:

Descriptive details are described as the details that function to evoke the readers' senses and engross them completely in the scene through sensory recreation of their experience(with these details). These details assist the readers to thoroughly enjoy and experience the content(by transporting themselves visually to the scene).

As per the question, options A, C, and E exemplify the descriptive details that the author includes to entertain the readers as the words 'bustling', 'backlit', 'gasp', 'resounded' promote the sensory detail that promotes the readers' to have sensory(involving the senses) experience and immerse them completely in the scene. It would assist them to associate themselves visually to relate to the content. Thus, options A, C, and E are the correct answers.
