Read the quotation from Henry David Thoreau’s Walden.Every day or two I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs. As I walked in the woods to see the birds and squirrels, so I walked in the village to see the men and boys; instead of the wind among the pines I heard the carts rattle.Which is the best example of a vivid sensory detail?

A
“I strolled to the village”
B
“to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there”
C
“as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs”
D
“As I walked in the woods”
