Question

Storm
by Tina Tocco

The heavy rain poured
down through the trees.
It spilled over the gutters
and ran through the streets.

It washed away leaves
and it washed away stones.
It slid down our cars and our
bikes and our homes.

It kept me cooped up
all afternoon
with nothing to do
except stay in my room.

Based on the information provided, how can the author make the passage more descriptive?
A.
by describing what the rain sounds like
B.
by explaining why it is raining so hard
C.
by naming the town where it is raining
D.
by recalling other times it has rained

Answer 1

A. by describing what the rain sounds like

Adding sound details (e.g., the patter on the roof, the hiss on the pavement) gives sensory imagery and makes the scene more vivid.
