Question

Annie is fascinated with the book she is reading about Asian cooking. The author’s descriptions are so detailed that she feels as if she can actually taste and smell the food.

What technique is the author using?


simile


allusion


imagery


personification

Answer 1

The technique the author is using is **imagery**. Imagery involves using descriptive language that appeals to the senses, which allows readers to visualize, taste, or smell the foods being described, much like Annie does in her reading experience.
