The best answer is: they allow the reader to feel as if he or she is in the story.

Explanation: language that appeals to the five senses (sensory details, imagery) creates vivid mental pictures and emotional responses, so readers experience scenes more directly and become immersed in the story. Sensory detail can also serve secondary functions—providing clues, revealing character, or supporting themes—but its primary purpose is to make the writing feel immediate and real.
