Explanation:

The chief concern of an author while writing is to behold the readers' interest and keep it intact until the end of the description. They employ words or diction in a manner that helps appeal to the senses of the readers and develop their interest in the narrative.

As per the question, the options B and E employs the description that holds the interest of the readers as it includes the sensory details and descriptions like 'pop', 'hiss', 'sped up', 'pavement under my feet', 'felt', etc. that helps the audience to visualize the representation or description and keep their interest unblemished. Thus, options B and E are the correct answer.
