Read the following excerpt from Whitman’s “There Was a Child Went Forth” and answer the question.

And the old drunkard staggering home from the out-
house of the tavern, whence he had lately risen,
And the school-mistress that pass’d on her way to the
school,
And the friendly boys that pass’d—and the quarrelsome
boys,
And the tidy and fresh-cheek’d girls—
Which of the following is the dominant imagery in the excerpt above?

sight
sound
touch

Sight. The small passage does not give off any imagery of sound or touch.
