Answer 1

Answer:

sensory words...

Answer 2

Sensory words are the words that are used to generate a striking effect on the senses of the reader. Sensory words are descriptive words that describe how we smell, see, hear, feel or taste something.

• Sight related words indicate colors, shape, or appearance. For example, gloomy, dazzling, bright, foggy, and gigantic describe how we see the surroundings.
• Words that give us a sense of touch, describe textures. They can be used to describe feelings too. For example, words like gritty, creepy, slimy, fluff, and sticky make us feel how a thing would feel when touched.
• Words that create an illusion of us hearing something describe sounds. A few examples of such words are, crashing, thumping, piercing, and tingling. These words are called onomatopoeic.
• Taste and smell are related to each other closely. For instance, sweet, stinky, and stale all give us a sense of taste as well as smell.
• Motion can also be described by sensory words like, vibrating, staggering, and bumpy.

So, we use sensory words to produce a striking effect on the senses on the reader.
