Question 8 • LISD English II A

Which details help readers visualize the scene in the passage? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
“The man looked along the way he had come.”
B
“The Yukon lay a mile wide and hidden under three feet of ice.”
C
“On top of this ice were as many feet of snow.”
D
“It led north 75 miles to Dawson.”
E
“The one thing that relieved the whiteness was a dark line that curved.”

Explanation

The details that help readers picture the scene describe what it looks like: the Yukon is a mile wide and covered by ice, snow lies on top of the ice, and a dark, curved line interrupts the whiteness. The other choices describe the man’s action or give a distance rather than vivid visual details.
