Which excerpt best represents the call-and-response format derived from jazz music?

Deferred by Langston Hughes (excerpt):
"Maybe now I can have that white enamel stove I dreamed about when we first fell in love eighteen years ago.
But you know, rooming and everything then kids, cold-water flat and all that.
But now my daughter’s married and my boy's almost grown-- quit school to work--
And where we're moving there ain't no stove-- maybe I can buy that white enamel stove!"

Island by Langston Hughes (excerpt):
"Black and white, gold and brown--
Chocolate-custard pie of a town.
Dream within a dream, our dream deferred.
Good morning, daddy! Ain't you heard?"

Harlem by Langston Hughes (excerpt):
"Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore— and then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over— like a syrupy sweet?"

"Good morning, daddy!Ain't you heard?"Explanation:This excerpt from Langston Hughe's poem 'Dream Boogie' is an example of a 'call-and-response' format. Langston had used the framework of 'Bebop Jazz' in this poem. The poet had tried to expose the racial misery beneath the jazz festivity. In the poem, the speaker is a boy, who asks his audience a question that whether they had heard "The boogie-woogie rumble Of a dream deferred?"

call and response is in music which a technique where certain sound effects respond to the previous sound.this is a very tough question, but imo it's A because each seceding part responds to the previous line if yk what I mean. Good luck!

DiscussionIt's A but you need more of the poem to see why.Tack this onto the bottom of what you have.Someday,I’m gonna buy two new suitsat once!All I want is one more bottle of gin.All I want is to seemy furniture paid for.All I want is a wife who willwork with me and not against me. Say,baby, could you see your way clear?Heaven, heaven, is my home!This world I’ll leave behindWhen I set my feet in gloryI’ll have a throne for mine!I want to pass the civil service.I want a television set.You know, as old as I am,I ain’t neverowned a decent radio yet?I’d like to take up Bach.Here the two voices complement each other like a jazz piece where one sets up what is to be said, and the other answers it. The wife starts with her white enamel stove and the wish of finishing high school. She sees herself entering the empty nest stage and she's resigned to it happening. Her daughter is married already, and her son is "most grown".Then the other voice, the husband, comes in. His wants are simple. I couple of new suits, store bought, a radio, a bottle of gin, and a wife that works with him. Of the two, he is the least happy. Though he looks realistic in his wants, like they could be attainable, they really show a discontent that will be very hard to overcome.She's just sad.

I am pretty sure that it is Harlem, but not 100%
