Read these writing samples. Which one is descriptive writing?

Sample A

Earthworms can be found all over North America, but they are not an indigenous species.  Europeans brought plants from their home countries and worms came along for the trip.  They spread prolifically across the continent, except for desert and permafrost regions.


Sample B

The earthworm looked like a long pink mustache that had come to life. The creature squiggled and wiggled vigorously across the huge stretch of grey pavement. Grains of sand stuck its body and its slimy skin became more like crusty bread. Silently, it slunk into the sanctuary of the grassy lawn.

 

Sample C

Earthworms are invaders from Europe and we should ban them from Canada. People should act now by digging up worms in their backyard and using them as fishing bait as soon as possible. If we all take action, we can solve this serious invasion that impacts the lives of nearly every Canadian.


Sample D

Eartha, the Earthworm, squiggled as fast as she could across the Pavement Desert. It was a dangerous journey.  Crows could fly down and attack her from the trees at any moment. Eartha sighed with relief as she finally reached the safety of the Grass Jungle. She would live another day.
