Q1
Which sentence best illustrates the use of sensory details?
At the historic lighthouse, the stairs spiraled upward like a tight ribbon, and each step groaned under Ava’s weight. Her fingers brushed the cold iron railing, slick from sea air. Far below, waves slapped the rocks with a steady, hollow thump. “Almost there,” her dad said, his voice echoing in the narrow tower. Ava’s breathing sounded loud in her own ears, but she kept climbing, counting the steps to distract herself. When she reached the lantern room, bright wind rushed in through a cracked window, carrying the sharp smell of salt. Ava blinked at the sudden light and watched gulls glide past at eye level. She felt proud, not because it was easy, but because she had finished.
