Read the excerpt from h. g. wells's the war of the worlds. it was such a gradual movement that he discovered it only through noticing that a black mark that had been near him five minutes ago was now at the other side of the circumference. even then he scarcely understood what this indicated, until he heard a muffled grating sound and saw the black mark forward an inch or so. then the thing came upon him in a flash. the cylinder was artificial—hollow—with an end that screwed out! something within the cylinder was unscrewing the top! in this excerpt, wells entertains readers by a. providing researched facts. b. using vivid sensory details. c. the cylinder's dimensions. d. offering convincing arguments.

The correct answer is the following: option B. In the excerpt, Wells entertains the readers by using vivid sensory details. When writing it is often helpful and even needed to add details to the narration of the story as details generally help to prove a point and to bring up the emotional responses in the readers. A vivid sensory detail is one that is making a reference to the use of one of the 5 senses. For example in the excerpt when Wells writes: "...until he heard a muffled grating sound and saw the black mark forward an inch or so." he is using the senses of the character to show what is happening in that specific scene of the story. Vivid sensory details not only entertain the readers but makes them feel that they are a part of the story and that they are feeling what the character is experiencing.
