The air in st. thomas was humid and sticking to my skin. the hot beach made my toes burn as i walked to the edge of the sand. i could hardly believe the beauty of the ocean. i’d never seen water so clear and bright. the shore in new jersey was nice, but the waters of the atlantic always seemed very dark. this water sparkled like a diamond in the sunlight.

which of these choices best adds specific and concrete detail to the vague phrase seemed very dark in the passage?

 seemed black and murky

Explanation: I know this late but maybe this will help someone else.

Black and murky gives more specific details about what the water lookos like.

hey there

use of language is very important in order to write in a good way. each literary genre has its different exploitation of language and, therefore, many differences and similarities can emerge. shakespeare's work (romeo and juliet) is a sample of a drama. its language is full of dialogue to describe the beauty of first love in people; everything it's pink color. it briefly describes fictional scenes and situations. on the other hand, the calypso borealis, by john muirs, it's narrative essay: its language is full of descriptions to describe an experience, a real experience. hyperbole is not used as in drama genre. he falls in love with discovering a real place and his direct feelings.

hope this !

f yes, , mark brainliest : )

have a good night.
