	The author of this passage, William Finnegan, describes an experience surfing in very high waves off Ocean Beach in San Francisco. Only the very bravest and most experienced surfers attempt these waves in the winter. As the passage begins, the author and a friend have paddled out but were still too close to shore when a huge set of waves trapped them inside. Read the text below and answer the proposed question: The first wave snapped my ankle leash--a ten-foot length of polyurethane, strong enough to pull a car uphill--as if it were a piece of string. (2) I swam underneath that wave and then kept swimming, toward the open ocean. (3) The second wave looked like a three-story building. (4) It, like the first wave, was preparing to break a few yards in front of me. (5) I dived deep and swam hard. (6) The lip of the wave hitting the surface above me sounded like a bolt of lightning exploding at very close range, and it filled the water with shock waves. (7) I managed to stay underneath the turbulence, but when I surfaced I saw that the third wave of the set belonged to another order of being. (8) It was bigger, thicker, and drawing much more heavily off the bottom than the others. (9) My arms felt rubbery, and I started hyperventilating. (10) I dived very early and very deep. (11) The deeper I swam, the colder and darker the water got. (12) The noise as the wave broke was preternaturally low, a basso profundo of utter violence, and the force pulling me backward and upward felt like some nightmare of gravity. (13) Again, I managed to escape, and when I finally surfaced I was far outside. (14) There were no more waves, which was fortunate, since I was sure that one more would have finished me. --William Finnegan, "Surfing," The New Yorker Which three senses does Finnegan's description appeal to?

''Alberto Santos Dumont was a Brazilian aviation pioneer. Dedicating his life to aeronautical study and experimentation, he was the inventor of airplanes and Dirigibles. The first person to combine successfully the internal combustion engine and ballooning, Alberto was also instrumental in being the first to fly a heavier than air motor plane. 'Demoiselle No. 19' was the world's first series production aircraft. Grandson of a French immigrant and the son of a coffee planter, a wealthy man that he was, devoted all his money and energy into inventions''.
