Answer 1

The lines from "Harlem" and the lines from "The Weary Blues" both provide details using the sense of sight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poems "Harlem" and "The Weary Blues" were both written by Langston Hughes. These poems deal with the theme of black identity and the discrimination they faced at the hands of the whites.

In both these poems, the poet uses images that allow us, readers, to visualize what he is talking about or referring to. The use of the word "sags like a heavy load" allows us to picture what he is trying to say, while at the same time, the Negro man playing a tune while doing a "lazy sway" also gives us a clear image of what he is projecting to us. Through the use of these sensory details, the poet uses the sense of sight to present an image that we can easily understand and be able to relate to.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
