What does the descriptive language in this passage help
readers to visualize?

A poor substitute for food was this hide, just as it had been
stripped from the starved horses of the cattlemen six
months back. In its frozen state it was more like strips of
galvanized iron, and when a dog wrestled it into his stomach
it thawed into thin and innutritious leathery strings and into a
mass of short hair, irritating and indigestible.

A-how dry and tough the meat is
B-how freezing the weather is C-how thin and sick the horses are
D-how hungry the cattlemen are
