Descriptive Writing — Answer Key
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The grass feels soft under my feet.
Fresh grass bends gently under your feet without hurting, so soft is how it feels.
2. The siren is very loud.
A siren makes a strong, blaring sound to warn people, which is why it is called loud.
3. A rose smells sweet and fresh.
Roses smell pleasant and a little like sugar, and sweet is the word we use for nice, sugary smells.
4. The sandpaper feels rough.
Sandpaper is bumpy and scratchy on purpose, so rough is the word that tells how it feels.
5. The moon looks bright at night.
At night the moon shines with light, so bright describes how it looks in the dark sky.
6. The soup is hot and yummy.
Soup is cooked on the stove and served warm, so hot tells the temperature when it is yummy to eat.
7. A frog has smooth green skin.
A frog's skin is slick and not bumpy, so smooth is the right word to describe it.
8. The wind outside is cold today.
When the wind blows in winter, it makes you shiver, so cold tells how it feels today.
