What is one difference in the way sensory details are used in "Harlem" and "The Weary Blues"?

Answer
A
“Harlem” relies on the sense of touch, while “The Weary Blues” relies on the sense of sound.
B
“Harlem” uses all five senses, while “The Weary Blues” relies mainly on the sense of sound.
C
“Harlem” relies on all of the senses, while “The Weary Blues” relies mainly on the sense of touch.
D
“Harlem” uses the sense of sound, while “The Weary Blues” relies on all five senses.

Explanation

“Harlem” uses several kinds of sensory imagery: a dream may “dry up like a raisin,” “fester like a sore,” or become “heavy like a load,” appealing to sight, touch, and taste or smell. “The Weary Blues” focuses especially on sound through the musician’s singing, the piano, and the repeated descriptions of the blues’ rhythm. Therefore, the best choice is “Harlem” uses all five senses, while “The Weary Blues” relies mainly on the sense of sound.
