Joe plucked an apple right from the tree and crunched into it, the tart juices filling his mouth and running down his chin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory words are descriptive-they describe how we experience the world: how we smell, see, hear, feel or taste something. Words related to sight indicate colors, shape, or appearance. For instance: gloomy, dazzling, bright, foggy, gigantic. Words related to touch describe textures.
