Stalls burst into colour as merchants unfurl crimson tomatoes, golden mangoes and glossy aubergines. The air hums with the chatter of buyers, the clink of copper coins and the occasional bray of a goat that has slipped free. Amid the bustle, a lone violinist draws a bow across his strings, weaving a melancholy thread through the cacophony. By noon, the sun crowns the rooftops, and the market settles into a lazy rhythm, its scent of fresh coriander lingering long after the last bargain is struck." (a) Identify three specific lexical choices that create vivid imagery in the passage and explain the effect of each on the reader.
