Answer 2

The question above does not present the text to which it refers, which makes it impossible for me to provide a specific answer. However, I will help you find that answer.

We can say that the descriptive details of a text help the reader to imagine the situation that is being discussed because:

• Descriptive details have the power to create mental images.

• This is because the descriptive details can present adjectives that show the characteristics of something or someone.

• This allows readers to see, with perfection, what is being presented in the text.

• Descriptive details can also cause the use of imagery in the text.

• Imagery allows the reader to feel, smell and hear what is being described in the text due to the stimulation of the senses.

In other words, we can say that the reader can perceive the embarrassing situation that Amy Tan went through due to the adjectives and imagery used in the text.
