Describe the scene at the university library on a rainy evening, focusing on at least three senses, using at least one metaphor and one simile, and convey a sense of anticipation.
Answer Options
A.
A descriptive paragraph that mentions the sound of rain, the smell of wet earth, the sight of amber lamp light, includes a simile and a metaphor, but fails to convey any anticipation and instead ends with a conclusion about the evening ending.
Correct Answer
B.
A descriptive paragraph that mentions the sound of rain on the windows, the smell of wet earth and books, the sight of amber lamp light, includes a simile (e.g., "fingers tracing words like explorers mapping unknown lands"), a metaphor (e.g., "library ... a lighthouse"), and conveys anticipation for an upcoming seminar.
C.
A descriptive paragraph that mentions the sound of rain on the roof, the smell of coffee, the sight of fluorescent lights, includes a simile (students like moths to a flame) and a metaphor (the library a desert), but conveys a sense of nostalgia rather than anticipation.
D.
A descriptive paragraph that mentions only the visual of rain streaking the windows and the quiet of empty aisles, includes a metaphor (the library as a tomb) but no simile, omits references to sound, smell, or anticipation, and focuses solely on the darkness.
