Correct Answer
A.
At first light, I stepped onto the beach and felt the fine, cool sand slip through my toes like silk. The sea whispered against the shore, a steady hush punctuated by the occasional call of a lone gull soaring above. As the horizon blushed with pale pink and amber, the water caught the newborn sun, scattering diamonds across its surface. A gentle breeze carried the salty scent of the ocean, mingling with the faint perfume of sea‑weed. The world seemed suspended in a tranquil pause, and a deep sense of calm settled over me, as if the sunrise were washing away yesterday's worries and offering a fresh, hopeful beginning.

At first light, I stepped onto the forest path and felt the soft, damp moss cushion my feet like velvet. The trees whisper with the wind, a gentle rustle punctuated by the occasional call of a distant woodpecker. As the horizon blushed with pale pink and amber, the canopy let through shafts of newborn sun, scattering golden flecks across the leaf litter. A cool breeze carried the earthy scent of pine and wet soil, mingling with the faint perfume of wildflowers. The world seemed suspended in a tranquil pause, and a deep sense of calm settled over me, as if the sunrise were washing away yesterday's worries and offering a fresh, hopeful beginning.
C.
At first light, I stepped onto the city street and felt the gritty pavement under my shoes like coarse sand. The traffic murmurs in the distance, a steady hum punctuated by the occasional honk of a taxi. As the horizon blushed with pale pink and amber, the skyscrapers catch the newborn sun, scattering reflections across glass windows. A brisk breeze carries the sharp scent of exhaust and coffee, mingling with the faint aroma of street‑vendor pastries. The world seemed suspended in a hurried pause, and a deep sense of anticipation settled over me, as if the sunrise were energising the bustling crowd and heralding a dynamic new day.
D.
At first light, I stepped onto the beach and felt the fine, cool sand slip through my toes like silk. The sea whispered against the shore, a steady hush punctuated by the occasional call of a lone gull soaring above. As the horizon blushed with deep orange and violet, the water caught the setting sun, scattering diamonds across its surface. A gentle breeze carried the salty scent of the ocean, mingling with the faint perfume of sea‑weed.
