Which statement best explains how effectively the passage uses vivid
description?
For hours, I worked on my pumpkin creation. The neighborhood fall
festival was just a day away, and I wanted to win the pumpkin-carving
prize. I had decided a few weeks ago on a cool design that I
discovered on the Internet. The design idea even came with “easy step-
by-step instructions.” Now, as I inspected the pumpkin in front of me, I
realized something important. Just because directions say “easy,” it
doesn’t mean it’s true.
