Which excerpt from dispatches contains sensory language to describe the geography of vietnam?

a.) there would be the muted rush of illumination rounds, fired from 60-mm. mortars inside the wire, dropping magnesium-brilliant above the nva trenches for a few seconds, outlining the gaunt, flat spread of the mahogany trees, giving the landscape a ghastly clarity and dying out.
b.) it was awesome, worse than anything the lord had ever put down on egypt, and at night, you’d hear the marines talking, watching it, yelling, “get some! ” until they grew quiet and someone would say, “spooky understands.” the nights were very beautiful.
c.) once in a while—i guess i saw it happen three or four times in all—there would be a secondary explosion, a direct hit on a supply of nva ammunition. and at night it was beautiful. even the incoming was beautiful at night, beautiful and deeply dreadful.
d.)nights were when the air and artillery strikes were heaviest because that was when we knew that the nva was above ground and moving. at night you could lie out on some sandbags and watch the c-47’s mounted with vulcans doing their work.
i just took the test on edge and the correct answer is a.)

A

Explanation:

This is the excerpt that uses sensory language to describe various aspects of the geography in Vietnam. Some of the elements that are included to describe the natural setting are the landscape and the gaunt mahogany trees that have the appearance of being spread flat.

The other excerpts only mention aspects of the war and do not touch on the natural environment.

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.

there is no woman's sides

can bide the beating of so strong a passion

as love doth give my heart; no woman's heart

so big, to hold so much; they lack retention.

hope this !
