Writing that paints word pictures for the reader is a. simile b. exposition c. argumentative d. description

it is description because your telling them what it looks like ha descrbing it

The right answer is the D) Description.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the word description comes from the Latin verb describĕre, which can be translated as to represent or detail the aspect of a person, a thing, a place, an experience, an event and even an emotion by means of words - either written or spoken. If a writer is describing something or someone so vividly and movingly that one can visualize that person or that object in his or her mind, then that writer is using description as a literary device. Similes are often used in description essays ("he was shaking like a leaf when he saw her passing by," for instance), but a simile is not a type of writing in itself. Expository and argumentative essays expound an idea and argue about it, and they are objective and well-reasoned, and, unlike descriptive essays, they do not allow for artistic licenses.
