Which of the following passages best demonstrates the author's use of descriptive language to describe Farquhar's experience as he stood with the noose around his neck? A. "Peyton Farquhar was a well-to-do planter of an old and highly respected Alabama family. " B. "His features were good--a straight nose, firm mouth, broad forehead, from which his long, dark hair was combed straight back, falling behind his ears to the collar of his well-fitting frock coat." C. "The power of thought was restored; he knew that the rope had broken and he had fallen into the stream. " D. "As to his head, he was conscious of nothing but a feeling of fullness--of congestion. These sensations were unaccompanied by thought. The intellectual part of his nature was already effaced; he had power only to feel, and feeling was torment."
