Write a descriptive paragraph of about 120‑130 words that vividly portrays a bustling market scene in Lagos during the early evening. Use sensory details (sight, sound, smell, touch) to bring the scene to life.
Answer Options
A.
As the sun slipped behind the Abuja skyline, the market transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour and motion. Stalls draped in bright fabrics fluttered in the gentle breeze while traders shouted prices in rapid Hausa and English, their voices weaving a lively chorus. The air was thick with the aroma of grilled suya, ripe mangoes, and the sharp tang of pepper soup, making the mouth water before a bite was taken. Hands brushed against woven baskets packed with fresh vegetables, their coolness a contrast to the lingering heat of the day. Neon signs flickered to life, casting a golden haze over the crowd, and the rhythmic thump of drums from a nearby street performer added a heartbeat to the evening's vibrant tapestry.

As the sun hovered high over Lagos, the market buzzed with activity. Stalls covered in bright cloths swayed in the warm breeze while vendors shouted prices in rapid Yoruba and English, their voices forming a chaotic chorus. The air carried a faint hint of fried plantains, but the dominant scent was the dry dust of the pavement. Hands brushed against woven baskets filled with fresh vegetables, their coolness contrasting with the scorching heat.
