Read this excerpt from "Hope, Despair, and Memory" by Elie Wiesel and answer the question. The survivors wanted to communicate e
verything to the living: the victim’s solitude and sorrow, the tears of mothers driven to madness, the prayers of the doomed beneath a fiery sky. They needed to tell of the child who, in hiding with his mother, asked softly, very softly, "Can I cry now?" They needed to tell of the sick beggar who, in a sealed cattle-car, began to sing as an offering to his companions. And of the little girl who, hugging her grandmother, whispered: "Don’t be afraid, don’t be sorry to die … I’m not." Which of the following correctly pair(s) a detail with its sense? Select all that apply. "Can I cry now?" = hearing "solitude and sorrow" = sight "sealed cattle-car" = smell "hugging her grandmother" = touch
The pair that correctly links a detail with its sense is "hugging her grandmother" = touch and "Can I cry now?" = hearing
Explanation:
The five senses of the human body are as follows:
sight
hearing
touch
smell
taste
The first and last options are the only correctly paired detail with its senses because they accurately convey the senses in the body through the details.
