Which statement best evaluates the effect of adding imagery in the second
version of the passage?
Passage 1:
Marcia kicked the ball to me. I dribbled down the field toward the goal.
There was nobody around to pass to. I wondered what to do. Then I
saw Kaitlyn by the goal. I passed to her and she shot it into the goal.
Passage 2:
Marcia kicked the ball to me, and I was off down the right flank. The
goal loomed before me. I glanced around. There was nobody to pass
to! Where were they? The defense was all over me. I was trapped.
Quick, here could I send it? Suddenly, Kaitlyn appeared like a mirage
in the desert, unguarded and right by the goal. I launched the ball
skyward, over the heads of the defenders. Kaitlyn was there. She got it.
She scored.
