10. the key to description is a. telling the reader how you would do something. b. considering only what you think the reader already knows. c. showing only the steps you consider important. d. giving the reader enough detail to form a picture in his or her mind.

I think the answer here is D. A seems wrong because it involves your opinion as a writer which should not be involved in a description. B is wrong because you should always assume that the reader knows nothing about the subject when writing a description. C is wrong because all steps should be outlined in a description. Finally, D is correct because a description should be detailed and easy to follow. Hope that helps!
