14. Which of the senses do these excerpts appeal to?
A- (Sun) "...until with shining ringlets in the East the dawn confirmed a third day..."
B- (Sea) "...breaking clear of a high and windless sea..."
"...trampling roar of sea on rock, where combers, rising shoreward, thudded down on the sucking ebb--all sheeted with salt foam."
"Lo and behold, the mouth of a calm river at length came into view,with level shores unbroken, free from rock, sheilded from wind..."
C- (Land) "...the sigh of land, of woodland, on that morning..."
"Here were no coves, or harborage or shelter, only steep headlands, rockfallen reefs and crags."
"Here are sharp rocks offshore, and the sea a smother rushing around them; rock face rising sheer from deep water."
