I believe it would be B. Touch or C. Sight

Joslyn Nelson · Answer 2

The answer will depend on which word is underlined.

If the underlined word is "bite," the correct answer is B. touch.

If the underlined word is "sparkle," the correct answer is C. sight.

Explanation:

Some senses are usually linked to others by authors to add a deeper description and to seek a greater understanding from the reader.

The phrase "The bite of cold air" refers to the painful sensation of extremely low temperatures, which are often perceived as the sharp pain of a bite.

The phrase "The sparkle of ice" refers to the defraction of light caused by ice crystals, generating a sensation of sparkling in the light.
