Write a descriptive paragraph of 150‑180 words portraying a quiet winter night in a forest. Use at least one personification and one metaphor to enhance the atmosphere.
Answer Options
A.
A paragraph of 150‑180 words that vividly describes a winter forest night, includes a metaphor (e.g., "the moon was a silver lantern") but does not contain any personification, falling short of the prompt's requirements.
Correct Answer
B.
A paragraph of 150‑180 words that vividly describes a winter forest night, includes personification (e.g., "the wind whispered") and a metaphor (e.g., "the night itself seemed to breathe"), and matches the sensory richness of the model answer.
C.
A paragraph of 120‑140 words that describes a winter forest night, includes a personification (e.g., "the trees sighed") but omits any metaphor, and lacks the required sensory richness.
D.
A paragraph of 150‑180 words that describes a winter forest night with both personification and metaphor, but the word count exceeds the limit at 200 words, making it non‑compliant.
