Answer Details
The passage illustrates the use of descriptive prose. This is because it vividly describes the atmosphere, weather, and environment with sensory details such as how the air felt, the wind, the raindrops, and the sunlight. The passage is not simply telling a story or explaining a concept, but rather it is painting a picture with words to create a sensory experience for the reader.
