Which revision adds the most effective descriptive details to show the passage of time in a narrative?
- As time passed, many things changed significantly, and the situation became completely different from before.
- Over several months, the garden transformed dramatically, creating a beautiful and impressive new landscape.
- The bare winter branches gradually sprouted green buds that unfurled into a canopy of leaves. (correct answer)
- Throughout the season, everything slowly changed and developed into something much more attractive and appealing.
Explanation: Option C is correct because it uses specific visual progression (bare branches to buds to leaves) and concrete imagery to show time passing through observable changes. The other options use vague terms like 'things changed' and 'transformed dramatically' without providing specific descriptive details.
