To determine which senses are appealed to in these lines from Macbeth, we need to analyze the imagery and language used in the text.
In the given lines, there is a lack of direct sensory descriptions such as smells, tastes, or physical sensations. Instead, the lines primarily appeal to the sense of hearing and sight.
The words "pour," "milk," and "concord" evoke the idea of a liquid being poured, which appeals to the sense of hearing. The phrase "uproar the universal peace" appeals to the sense of hearing by suggesting a disturbance or commotion in the peace.
There is no direct mention of taste or touch in these lines, excluding options A and D. Similarly, there is no direct mention of smell, excluding option B. Therefore, the correct answer is C. sight, taste, and hearing.
