Sight, flares are a visual anomaly. They shine brightly before fizzling out after a certain duration. While they do emit a sound, the sound is usually soft and only heard close up (unless fired by a flaregun)
The correct type of sense used in the line ""Low dropping flares confuse our memory of the salient."" is sight.
** ** The line describes a visual scene where flares are dropping low, which is an event that is observed visually. The word ""flares"" refers to bright, burning lights that are used as signals or to illuminate an area, and the act of seeing these flares and their effect on the landscape is a visual experience. The term ""salient"" can refer to a prominent feature or detail, which in a visual context, would be something that stands out or is noticeable in one's field of vision. The confusion mentioned in the line is likely related to the difficulty in perceiving or remembering the important features of the landscape due to the distracting or obscuring effect of the flares. Since the line is describing the visual impact of the flares on the observer's ability to remember a visual feature (the salient), the sense being used is sight.
The sense used in the line "Low dropping flares confuse our memory of the salient" is sight. The description emphasizes visual imagery with flares affecting memory and perception. Thus, the appropriate answer is A. Sight.
