An author relies heavily on description and sensory language primarily **to help readers picture what the character is like**. This use of vivid imagery and sensory details allows readers to visualize the character’s appearance, mannerisms, and emotions, making the character more relatable and engaging. Additionally, rich descriptions contribute to a deeper understanding of the character’s personality and motivations, enhancing the overall reading experience. The other options—drawing connections between characters, making guesses about authorial intent, and creating suspense—can also be influenced by sensory language, but the primary focus in character development is to create a clear and vivid image in the reader's mind.
