SENSORY LANGUAGE

Answer 1

C.) I watched the trail so that I could avoid the tree roots and large rocks that dwelt in the pathway.

A setting describes the time, place, and/or circumstances in which an event takes place.   "C" uses imagery to help the readers imagine the place in which the characters are at.  At first glance, the answer seems like it could be "A"...however, instead of describing the setting, "A" actually describes an object.

Answer 2

Does the passage best help the reader picture the setting?

The correct answer is Option C. I watched the trail so that I could avoid the tree roots and large rocks that dwelt in the pathway.

Describe the tree roots and large rocks that dwelt in the pathway?

The settings describe when, where, and/or the status of the event. The "C" uses an image to allow the reader to visualize where the character is. At first glance, the answer looks like an "A", but the "A" doesn't really represent an environment, but an object.
