Read the sentence from “Broken Chain.” His father had come home that evening from a softball game, happy that his team had drilled four homers in a thirteen-to-five bashing of Color Tile. Which type of descriptive language is used in the sentence?
Answer
A
a vivid verb describing what the father's team did
B
a graphic adjective describing how the father feels
C
a metaphor comparing the color of the evening sky to tile
D
a simile comparing the father's team to Color Tile's team
Explanation
The vivid verb is “drilled,” which describes the team hitting four home runs. “Happy” tells how the father feels, but it is not a graphic adjective, and the sentence makes no comparison using a metaphor or simile. The correct choice is “a vivid verb describing what the father's team did.”
