Question

There stood, facing the open window, a comfortable, roomy armchair. Into this she sank, pressed down by a physical exhaustion that haunted her body and seemed to reach into her soul.

She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. The delicious breath of rain was in the air. In the street below a peddler was crying his wares. The notes of a distant song which some one was singing reached her faintly, and countless sparrows were twittering in the eaves.

There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window.

Answer 1

The author helps readers picture the story **by using imagery**. The descriptive language creates vivid mental images of the scene, such as the "comfortable, roomy armchair," the "tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life," and the "delicious breath of rain." These details engage the reader’s senses and make the setting feel alive and tangible.
