Answer
A
church bells tolling.
B
mosquitoes, blowflies, and hornets buzzing.
C
visiting the newspaper office.
D
Eliza leaving for the Free African Society meeting.

Explanation

The narrator makes Philadelphia’s summer feel vivid by describing the insects in the heat: mosquitoes, blowflies, and hornets buzzing. Those sensory details help readers picture and almost hear the summer setting. Church bells, the newspaper office, and Eliza’s meeting are events or places, not the insect sounds used to evoke summer.
