Which sentence best uses descriptive details to show the aftermath of a storm?

  1. After the storm, everything looked damaged and messy, with clear evidence of destruction and chaos everywhere.
  2. Broken branches littered the sidewalk while overturned trash cans spilled their contents into puddles. (correct answer)
  3. The storm had caused significant damage and left behind a scene of disorder and devastation.
  4. Everything was affected by the storm's destruction, creating a landscape of damage and disarray.

Explanation: Option B is correct because it provides specific examples of storm damage (broken branches, overturned cans, spilled contents, puddles) that readers can visualize. The other options use general terms like 'damaged,' 'destruction,' and 'devastation' without concrete descriptive details.
