Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing). It helps make a description more vivid and impressive, allowing readers to feel involved in the situation as if they were the ones to be living it.

The passage we are analyzing here appeals to more than just one sense. However, the question is asking us to find the portion in which the sense of sound is used to create imagery. We can safely answer A. Even the insistent cough of the woman next to him... We, as readers, can imagine, hear the unstoppable, annoying cough. We have all been in situations where we wanted or needed to concentrate or pay attention to something, but someone's cough was utterly distracting and irritating. Still, the character in the passage is so involved in something else that even the insistent sound of the cough is not enough to distract him.
