Read the following excerpt from a narrative about a trip to an amusement park: (1) Overhead, the roller coaster boomed down the tracks, shaking the ground beneath my feet. (2) The salty smell of hot dogs with mustard hit my nostrils and made my mouth water in anticipation. (3) I couldn’t wait to board the Pirate Ship ride. (4) In front of me, the rainbow lights on the Test Your Strength game zipped up and down in rhythm to the pop music blasting through the speakers.

Which sentence needs more descriptive details? Why?

A.
sentence 1; The reader can feel and hear the roller coaster but can’t see it.
B.
sentence 2; The smell of the hot dog isn’t described in an interesting way.
C.
sentence 3; The sentence doesn’t give the reader any details about the Pirate Ship ride.
D.
sentence 4; The reader doesn’t know the shape or size of the Test Your Strength game in front of the narrator.

The answer is C.

Explanation:

My reasoning is because there are not as many descriptive details in choice C as the other answer choices.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
