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.

both lines of poetry appeal to the sense of

a) touch
b)sight
c)hearing
d)smelling

The answer to your question is hearing. the reason why is because you need to be able to hear an explosion in order to not that its an explosion. and with the second, its talking about the thumping, wich u need to be able to hear in order to call it thumping. i hope this answer helps.
