Chef Louise _____________ the eggplant in olive oil and fresh spices. Which word or words provides the most vivid description? A) cooked B) fixed C) prepared D) sauteed
The correct answer is D) Sauteed
Explanation:
A description is vivid if it contains details that allow the reader to create a clear mental image about the object, person or situation being described. In this context, to create a vivid description it is necessary to add precise details.
According to this, the best word is "sauteed" because this is more specific than "cooked" or "prepared"; also, this verb is related to the specific action of frying something for a short time and using little oil, and therefore when readers encounter this word they can imagine precisely the situation described.
