The author’s purpose here is to describe his perspective about the falcons he encountered. Which descriptive details create imagery that support the author’s purpose? Check all that apply.

The phrases “the swiftest in flight,” “fly at such incalculable speed,” and “no bird can escape them by flight” create vivid imagery of the falcons’ speed and hunting ability. These details help convey the author’s perspective that the falcons are exceptionally fast and powerful. The other choices give information about where they are bred or ask the reader to trust the author, rather than describing what the falcons look or seem like in action.
