Identify the sensory language BEST represented in the passage below:

"But Morena had unsettling eyes. She would stare at you; those crazy brown eyes were powerfully expressive and you couldn't tell what the hell it was they were telegraphing. Whatever was going on in her head, it was taking a lot of effort for her to restrain it, and her eyes were giving her away. It wasn't just me who noticed her spooky eyes" (Kerman 118).

Read the passage and answer the question below:

"Young children were growing up while their mothers did time, trying to have a relationship via fifteen-minute phone calls and the hours spent in visitation. I never saw these women look happier than when they were with their children, playing with the small collection of plastic toys kept in the corner and sharing Fritos and Raisinets from the vending machine. When visiting hours were over, it was gut-wrenching to watch the goodbyes. In one year a child could change from a squirming baby to a boisterous talkative toddler and mothers would watch football championships and prom nights come and go from the distant sidelines, along with their children's graduations, wedding days, and funerals" (Kerman 133).

The author uses descriptive examples in the paragraph above to

• establish a depressing and bitter tone

• create a vivid image of children excited to see their mothers behind bars

• establish the narrator's elation and compassion

• create a sense of time passing with despair
