Magic and the brain

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

1. The words that make the joke vivid are adjectives like "shines", "tiny", "White" "luminous", "red", "redness." The phrases that make the anecdote vivid are the descriptive phrases that present what is happening in the story being told, among these phrases we can quote: "The spotlight shines on the magician's assistent", "The great Tonsoni annouces he will change her dress from white to red", "The woman is  awash in flood of redness."

2. These words have an effect of creating mental images in the reader who can see what is being discarded through the words presented. This promotes a full understanding not only of the story, but of the space it presents and the configuration that is exposed.
