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 simile comparing the father's team to Color Tile's team
D
a metaphor comparing the color of the evening sky to tile
Explanation
The sentence says the team “drilled four homers.” The vivid verb “drilled” describes how forcefully the players hit the home runs. “Happy” describes the father’s feelings, but it is not a graphic adjective, and the sentence does not make a simile or compare the sky to tile.
