Descriptive Language Reading Comprehension

Read the passage carefully. Use details from the text to support your answers. For the final challenge, write a possible continuation using descriptive language.

The Lantern Room

Arjun eased open the narrow door at the top of the lighthouse stairs. A round room waited beyond it, dusty and silent. Moonlight spilled through the tall glass windows, laying pale silver stripes across the wooden floor. Near the centre, a brass lamp stood on a sturdy table, its cloudy glass dull with age. Salt wind rattled the window frames, while a loose chain tapped softly against the wall. Arjun stepped closer. In the corner, a red woollen scarf rested beside a small wooden box. The scarf looked strangely bright against the room’s faded colours.

Explore the language

Answer in complete sentences where appropriate. Include evidence from the passage when a question asks you to support an idea.

2.The moonlight is described as “laying pale silver stripes” across the floor. What picture does this phrase create in your mind?
3.Choose one descriptive detail from the passage that you find especially vivid. Quote it and explain how it helps you picture the scene.
4.Does the room seem cared for or neglected? Give two clues from the passage to support your view.
