Explanation

The table requires filling in the missing lines from the poem and identifying the corresponding senses. For Stanza 1, the line 'a tune seems to hover over my playthings' refers to the sense of hearing, making it auditory. The line provided for Stanza 3 is actually from Stanza 1 and refers to a 'tune' and 'hum', which are also auditory. For Stanza 2, the line 'the smell of the shiuli flowers floats in the air' clearly refers to the sense of smell, which is olfactory. Note: The table in the textbook contains a typo by placing a Stanza 1 line next to Stanza 3, but the sense remains auditory.
