A two-year old horse called "Okinawa" became an integral part of the equine unit, quickly learning to lead a parade with flags flapping, jets flying overhead, audiences clapping and dealing with unexpected loud noises. (2) His calm performances encouraged the Marines to adopt seven other wild horses. (3) The Mounted Color Guard has since participated in every Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California, since 1990, as well as dozens of other annual parades and shows. In paragraph 4, which sensory detail(s) BEST add(s) to the impact of the paragraph's meaning? A) his calm performances B) Tournament of Roses Parade C) jets flying overhead and audiences clapping D) ‘Okinawa’ became an integral part of the equine unit.

C) jets flying overhead and audiences clapping

This sensory detail is the best example of how the meaning of the paragraph is conveyed. It is trying to show how well the horse did in crazy conditions, and describing a parade with all of these details (jets and audiences being very loud), it is more impressive that the horse stayed calm. 

Answer:

C

Explanation:

In the example jets flying overhead and audiences clapping, the sense of sound is a powerful example of how these horses still maintain calm composure in the midst of disturbing stimuli.
