Read this excerpt from a student’s persuasive essay about smoking. What kind of elaboration does this detail use? By age 33, my aunt Rita had already been a heavy smoker for 20 years. She developed smoker's cough and shortness of breath. Aunt Rita tried using electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) as a way to cut back, but she continued to smoke regular cigarettes. Rita’s cough didn't get better, and eventually, she went back to smoking only cigarettes. A few months later, Rita’s right lung collapsed.
