Which of the following statements about description is true?
A. Description can be used carefully in persuasive and expository writing.
B. Description is appropriate only in narrative and descriptive writing.
C. Description applies only to things you can see, hear, taste, touch, or smell.
D. Description should make the reader work hard to imagine the described scene.

The correct answer is the one that shows that the description can be used correctly in both persuasive and expository writings, that is, option A is your correct answer.

This is because descriptive essays are those that are presenting something, showing the characteristics of an element. Persuasive essays, in turn, try to convince the reader about something and for that they need to show the characteristics of that "something".

These characteristics are presented through the description, therefore, the correct answer is option A. Also, you need to know that the description is presented through adjectives, which are words that represent the characteristics and something or someone.

Read the passage “Five Boiled Eggs” before answering Numbers 24 through 29.
A boy
An Old Turkish Tale
Retold by Laura S. Sassi
illustrated by Allan Eitzen
Long ago, a poor country boy left home to seek his fortune. Day and night he traveled, stopping to eat at inns along the way. Though he ate sparingly, his money quickly dwindled until, one day, no silver akches remained.
Still, the boy kept walking. Soon, however, his empty belly began to ache. Staggering up to the next inn he saw, he approached the innkeeper.
“Please feed me!” he said. “I don't have any money now, but I promise to pay you as soon as I can.”
“I'll see what I can spare,” the innkeeper grumbled. He took five boiled eggs out of a large bowl and put them on a plate with some stale bread. “Here,” he said, plopping the platter in front of the boy.
The famished lad gratefully gobbled every morsel. Then, repeating his promise to pay back the innkeeper, he journeyed on.
Revived by his five-egg breakfast, the boy soon reached a bustling seaport. Intent on finding his fortune, he set sail on the first ship that was leaving the harbor.
Years passed, and the lad prospered. As a sea merchant, he sailed far, stopping in many exotic ports. However, he never forgot his humble beginnings or the money he owed the innkeeper.
When he finally returned home, he stopped by the old roadside inn.
“Kind sir,” he respectfully inquired, “how much for the five boiled eggs that you served me so long ago?”
In truth, the innkeeper did not remember him, for this fine-looking fellow looked nothing like the scrawny lad who had begged for food some ten years before. Still, eager to make a profit, he readily added up the charges. “That'll be ten thousand akches,” he declared.
“For five eggs?” The rich stranger gasped. He had thought that he would have to pay no more than ten or twenty akches.
“Ah, but you must consider their lost worth,” the greedy innkeeper replied. “Had you not eaten those eggs, they would have hatched into hens. Those hens, in turn, would have laid eggs that would have hatched into hens. . . .” On and on he ranted until at last he reached his grand total.
The innkeeper
When the stunned merchant refused to pay, the innkeeper declared that he would take him to court.
A trial was set for the following week. Alas, rumor had it that the judge was a close friend of the innkeeper.
“I'm ruined!” the merchant muttered as he sat in the village square. “What will I do?”
At that moment, he was approached by a sturdy little man wearing a white turban and riding a donkey. “Nasreddin Hodja, at your service,” the man said with a friendly nod. “What seems to be the problem?”
After hearing the merchant's story, Hodja announced, “This is your lucky day! It would be my honor to defend you. I have great experience in these matters.”
A man
“Thank you,” the merchant said, amazed at his good fortune.
But when the court date finally arrived, Nasreddin Hodja was nowhere in sight.
“Woe is me,” mumbled the merchant.
“I'll soon be rich!” cried the innkeeper.
“Where is Hodja?” demanded the judge, growing angrier by the minute. He was about to render judgment in the innkeeper's favor when Hodja boldly barged in.
“Pardon me,” he said, panting, as he hastily took the witness stand. “I would have been here sooner, but this morning I had the cleverest plan. Instead of eating my boiled corn for breakfast, I planted it. Think of the rich harvest I'll reap!”
“That's absurd,” the innkeeper scoffed. “You can't grow corn from cooked kernels!”
“Indeed?” Hodja said with mock wonder. “Then, sir, how is it that you would have been able to hatch chickens from boiled eggs?”
At that, the whole room reeled with laughter.
“Order in the court!” shouted the judge, pounding his gavel and scowling at the innkeeper.
The judge then ruled that the merchant would not have to pay even one akche for the eggs. Instead, the innkeeper would have to pay a fine for wasting the court's time with such foolishness.

The sun was barely above the horizon when the fisherman untied his boat and set himself free of dry land. Each wave he crossed, heading out to sea, marked a greater distance between him and everything to do with him. With every crest, he was a little further away from is house. His house, no longer his home. Yes, it had walls and furniture and pictures, but it had no spirit. The photos, the tables and the chairs existed without reason, without source; like the faded perfume of his wife which still lingered in the air long after she had gone.



The old spluttering engine took him ten miles away from the port, and as he shut it off the land from which he’d come was hardly visible. Now he only felt at home on the sea. The sea’s smell carried his memories, its openness formed his walls, his pictures were made from the light which danced over the waves.



He cast his two lines off either side and sat back. The sea was calm and the early morning sun, still only low in the sky, meandered towards him over the mottled water. The sea was where he could think. Not that he was a thinking man, the fisherman, not in a philosophical or critical way. Really he was a rememberer. The fisherman never thought to the future, never worried financially or planned carefully. He thought back. He remembered.



And on the sea, free from conditions of time and place, his memories could fill his whole vision. Without another person around he had a whole world to himself.

Him, his lines, and his memories.
