Question

Which excerpt from "How I Learned English” helps the reader imagine the sound of the scene in the poem? It was in an empty lot Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle. In the field, a blue sky above them Tipped with cirrus. Banished to the outfield and daydreaming Of water, or a hotel in the mountains, By its easy arc before it hit My forehead with a thud.

Answer 1

Answer:

By its easy arc before it hit My forehead with a thud.

This is the only excerpt that describes sound. A thud is a dull sound, as one that would come from a heavy blow. In this case, the speaker tells us that something hit his head, and that the heavy blow produced a dull sound. This allows us to imagine the sound of the scene in the poem.

Answer 2

By its easy arc before it hitMy forehead with a thud.
