Writing an Informative Essay Comparing Two Periods of Time — Unit test

Question 5 • Language Arts 8 - ELA3008 IC

Which sentence is the most vivid?

Answer

Deep-sea fishing requires more specialized fishing equipment than regular freshwater fishing.

Freshwater fishing is usually uneventful and not nearly as exciting as deep-sea fishing.

Compared to the adrenaline rush of deep-sea fishing, freshwater fishing is a serene, calming experience.

The fish found in the fresh waters of North America differ greatly from the fish found in the oceans.

Explanation

Choice C is the most vivid because it uses expressive language that helps the reader imagine the experiences: an “adrenaline rush” for deep-sea fishing and a “serene, calming” feeling for freshwater fishing. The other choices mainly state comparisons or facts without creating as strong a picture or feeling.
