Which statement best explains how effectively the passage uses vivid description?
For hours, I worked on my pumpkin creation. The neighborhood fall
festival was just a day away, and I wanted to win the pumpkin-carving
prize. I had decided a few weeks ago on a cool design that I
discovered on the Internet. The design idea even came with "easy step-
by-step instructions." Now, as I inspected the pumpkin in front of me, 1
realized something important. Just because directions say "easy," it
doesn't mean it's true.
O A. The vivid description is not effective, because it does not create
the appropriate celebratory tone for a story about winning a
contest
B. The vivid description is not effective, because the passage uses
ordinary words that do not create vivid images.
C. The vivid description is effective, because the passage uses
figurative language that paints images in the reader's mind.
O D. The vivid description is effective, because it creates a sense of
tension that helps build suspense about the outcome of the
contest.
