UNSEEN PROSE AND POETRY

Read the passage below and answer the question

The fact was that, no sooner had the sickles began o play than, the
atmosphere suddenly felt as if cress would grow in it without other
nourishment. it rubbed people's cheeks like damp flannel when they
walked abroad: There was a gusty, high warm wind: isolated raindrops atarred the window-panes at remote distancees; the sunlight
would flap out like a quickly opened fan, throw the pattern of the window
upon the floor of the room in a milky, colourless shine, and withdraw as suddenly as it had passed.

The passage illustrates the use of .....prose.
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.
