Writing an Argumentative Essay about a Social Topic — Unit test

Question 19 • Language Arts 7 B (M12 25/26 S2)

Which excerpt from "The Catch” appeals to readers’ sense of hearing to help them imagine a scene?

Answer

His legs and thigh muscles ached as he trudged through the final swampland.

He tried to thrust off Rohan’s shoulders to push himself over in as though they were in a game of leap frog.

Just then, an old elf released a great eagle from its shackles, a signal for the race to start. When it squawked to freedom, the race began.

The gentle foothills ended quickly, and the runners made a steep scramble to the top of a cliff, followed by a daylong run up across uneven terrain of hard, coarse-grained rock.

Explanation

Choice C appeals to the sense of hearing with the word “squawked,” which describes the sound the eagle makes. The other excerpts focus on physical sensations or visual details, rather than a sound.
