Read the quotation from Henry David Thoreau’s Walden.Every day or two I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs. As I walked in the woods to see the birds and squirrels, so I walked in the village to see the men and boys; instead of the wind among the pines I heard the carts rattle.Which is the best example of a vivid sensory detail?

Read the excerpts.From A Feeding Study about Cats by Daniel CohenA team of researchers has discovered that cats that eat once a day are healthier and more satisfied than cats that are fed multiple times a day. The team studied eight healthy indoor cats over three weeks. Some of the cats were fed once a day, while others were fed four times a day. The researchers observed the cats’ activity levels each day. They also measured the cats’ body weights and the levels of various chemicals in their blood. The data showed that the cats that ate once a day were less hungry and had more protein in their blood, suggesting that they are better able to build and maintain muscle. The researchers found that neither group gained weight during the study.From Responsible Cat Ownership by Navita GuptaOver 25% of households in the United States have at least one cat. How can these cat owners keep their pets happy and healthy? First, it is important to feed cats nutritious food. The amount of food a cat needs depends on the size and activity level of the cat. For example, if the cat is very playful, it will need more food as opposed to a cat that spends most of the day lying around. Either way, it is important to keep cats on a feeding schedule. Most cat owners feed their cats twice a day—usually every eight to twelve hours. Others choose to feed their cats once per day. No matter what schedule an owner chooses, food should never be left out all day. This can cause cats to overeat and gain weight.
