Which statement best explains how effectively the passage uses vivid description?
The stars danced and twinkled before me like brilliant ballerinas on the sky's stage. My hammock swung gently in the evening breeze. Somehow I had managed to position it so I had a perfect view of the inky night sky. Lying there, listening to the crickets and frogs sing their duets, I let the stress of the past year slip away with the breeze. My lungs drank deep from the forest air, and I exhaled, encouraging my body to relax and enjoy this much-needed rest. A shooting star blazed across the black canvas. I breathed out a quiet wish. Next year would be better, . . .
