Very noticeable or impressive in appearance, in a way that immediately attracts attention.
“The first thing I noticed was how striking the color combination is.”
“It has a striking shape that doesn't resemble anything I've seen before.”
Use 'striking' in Task 8 as a strong, flexible word for anything about the object that grabs attention immediately, whether it's the color, shape, or overall design. It works well as an opening reaction, as in 'the first thing I noticed was how striking the color is.' Using both this and 'eye-catching' in one response shows good vocabulary range.
Synonyms: eye-catching, impressive, remarkable
