Which statement best explains how effectively the passage uses vivid description?
For hours, I worked on my pumpkin creation. The neighborhood fall
festival was just a day away, and I wanted to win the pumpkin-carving
prize. I had decided a few weeks ago on a cool design that I
discovered on the Internet. The design idea even came with "easy step-
by-step instructions." Now, as I inspected the pumpkin in front of me, 1
realized something important. Just because directions say "easy," it
doesn't mean it's true.
O A. The vivid description is not effective, because it does not create
the appropriate celebratory tone for a story about winning a
contest
B. The vivid description is not effective, because the passage uses
ordinary words that do not create vivid images.
C. The vivid description is effective, because the passage uses
figurative language that paints images in the reader's mind.
O D. The vivid description is effective, because it creates a sense of
tension that helps build suspense about the outcome of the
contest.

in what passage i'm sorry but i don't see anything there.

in the short story the slip-over sweater by jesse stuart, the main character and narrator shan is friends with grace, an intelligent girl he has known since childhood and with whom he used to be in love.

at the beginning of the story, shan believes he’s no longer in love with grace, but loves jo-anne instead. in order to buy a slip-over sweater and have jo-anne wear it so that the other students would know she loved him too, shan takes a loan at the bank.

while jo-anne is wearing shan’s sweater, his friend grace starts to wear another popular boy’s one, roy’s sweater. because of that, the other students begin to pay attention to grace and compliment her perseverance and effort. they admire her for walking 5 miles to school every day, despite the weather, and still getting the best grades. shan, who knows all of that for a fact, says, as the narrator, ‘and i knew she had the durability and the toughness of a storm-battered mountain oak.’ he compares his friend’s strength – not only physical, but also of character – to an oak tree, whose wood is known for being sturdy.

as the story goes on, shan changes his behavior out of concern for the debt he has to pay at the bank. his new girlfriend jo-anne never asks him what is wrong nor offers any sort of . instead, she breaks up with shan for not being as fun as she thought he was supposed to be. grace, however, not only asks about shan’s problem, but him make the money he needs. shan can’t but notice how different the girls are and what a wonderful person grace is.   even though he used to find jo-anne prettier at the beginning of the story, he now says, ‘grace was as beautiful as our mountain was in april, prettier than a blossom of wild phlox or a mountain daisy.’ his comparing grace to a mountain or something that exists on a mountain (such as a mountain oak or daisy) certainly has important meaning since shan loves the mountain and everything about it and he knows the mountain thoroughly. shan also loves and knows grace as completely as he does the mountain.
