B
The lines from "Harlem" and the lines from "The Weary Blues" both provide details through personification.
C
The lines from "Harlem" provide sensory details, and the lines from "The Weary Blues" do not.
D
The lines from "Harlem" provide details using the sense of sight, and the lines from "The Weary Blues" provide details using the sense of touch.

Explanation

In “Harlem,” the image of a dream sagging like a heavy load helps readers picture something drooping. In “The Weary Blues,” the repeated description of a “lazy sway” also suggests a visible movement. Both lines use details that appeal to the sense of sight, so choice A is correct.
