Answer 1

The two correct answers regarding sensory language are:

1. It appeals to the reader’s five senses.

   • Sensory language is designed to create vivid imagery that engages the reader's senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, and smell). This helps readers to experience the setting, characters, and events more fully.

2. It uses descriptive words and phrases.

   • Sensory language relies on specific, vivid descriptions that evoke sensory experiences. This enhances the writing by allowing readers to visualize and feel what is being described, making the narrative more immersive.

The other options (clichés, weak nouns/adjectives, and vague descriptions) are not characteristic of effective sensory language, which strives for clarity and vividness rather than generality and abstraction.
