Answer
A
I walked down the hallway to my teacher’s classroom.
B
The bacon danced in the pan like a fish in a bucket.
C
The robust, smoky aroma of the coffee filled the kitchen.
D
The kids were excited as they played outside in the backyard
E
The waiting room was cold and sterile, and smelled of antiseptic.
Explanation
B uses a surprising comparison, saying the bacon “danced” like a fish, which creates a vivid image. C appeals to the sense of smell with “robust, smoky aroma,” and E uses sensory details such as “cold,” “sterile,” and “antiseptic.” These descriptions are more engaging than the plain statements in A and D.
