Question

Read this line from "Harlem."

Or does it explode?

Read this line from "The Weary Blues."

Thump, thump, thump, went his foot on the floor.

What sense do both of these lines rely on?
the sense of touch
the sense of hearing
the sense of sight
the sense of smell

Answer 1

the sense of hearing

Both lines use sound imagery/onomatopoeia: "explode" implies a loud noise, and "Thump, thump, thump" imitates the sound of a foot.
