Douglas Smith · Answer 1

The three sensory words from the passage are: dry, deserted, and damp. Sensory words describe how we perceive the world, they are related to how we see, feel, smell, hear or taste things, so any word that describe how we sense the world is considered a sensory word. The word dry describes how we perceive the lack of humidity, maybe with our bare feet, the word deserted is almost a synonym for dry in this context, and the last sensory word is dam, which is an antonym for dry and deserted because it expresses the excess of humidity.
