The two sentences that use kinesthetic imagery are:

  1. "The waitress stopped before the mirror and nervously arranged a few loose threads of hair."
  2. "The tennis player slammed the ball with a quick blow of his racket, sending it flying over the net."

Kinesthetic imagery refers to descriptions that evoke the sense of movement or physical sensation. In the first sentence, the waitress's action of arranging her hair conveys movement. In the second sentence, the action of slamming the ball and the description of it flying over the net also convey movement and physical engagement.
