    The three sentences in this excerpt that use sensory details are as follows:

    C: While he was thinking what he should say to his father, and wringing his hands over the smoking remnants of one of those untimely sufferers, an odour assailed his nostrils, unlike any scent which he had before experienced. As seen in the last idea of the sentence, the sense that is used here is the smell because a scent came up the man's nostrils coming from the sufferers smoke;

    D: A premonitory moistening at the same time overflowed his nether lip. Hereby it is the touch the sense that is related in the sentence as a very small portion of water ran down the man's lip;

    and E: Some of the crumbs of the scorched skin had come away with his fingers, and for the first time in his life (in the world's life indeed, for before him no man had known it) he tasted-crackling! Again he felt and fumbled at the pig. It is the taste the relevant sense for us in this sentence since the man took a bite of some sort of food and then felt clumsy about it.
