In order to show the reader how thin Mrs. Clark is, the writer describes her in this way:
A.
Mrs. Clark is dying. She lies motionless.
B.
The head seems unusually large on a skeleton body.
C.
The skin is dark yellow and hangs loosely around exaggerated bones that not even a blanket can hide.
D.
The right arm lies straight out at the side, taped cruelly to a board to secure a needle so that fluid may drip in.
