Read the paragraph below. What detail helps show how large the elephant was? This weekend I got a chance to ride an elephant. It was something everyone should try. People in the U. S. are used to riding horses or ponies, but an elephant ride is unusual. Elephants are much bigger than horses; to get on I had to climb a ladder. But even though I was up so high, I wasn’t scared at all. The elephant, Mimi, was gentle and moved slowly. Her back was so wide I wasn’t scared of falling off. When she walked, I was able to see a long way from her high back. It was a great experience.

A. “to get on I had to climb a ladder”
B. “Elephants are much bigger than horses”
C. “I wasn’t scared at all”
D. “an elephant ride is unusual”
