Descriptive Language Comprehension Worksheet

Read the passage

Oliver and George stepped into the science museum’s planet room. A vast silver model of Saturn hung above them, its delicate rings curving through the dim blue light. Tiny golden stars glittered across the ceiling. Beneath the planet, a steady mechanical hum filled the quiet room, while a cool draught brushed Oliver’s cheek. George gazed upwards, speechless, as the enormous world seemed to float just beyond his reach.
