Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: Noisy
Definition: "Shrill" describes a sound or voice that is high-pitched, piercing, and often unpleasant to hear.
Why "Noisy" is the best choice: Among the available options, "noisy" most closely captures an unpleasant, attention-grabbing sound quality. Although "shrill" emphasizes high pitch and piercing tone, "noisy" is the nearest match here.
Why the other words are incorrect: "Calm" means peaceful or quiet (opposite of shrill); "Low" refers to a low pitch (shrill is high-pitched); "Mild" means gentle or not intense (shrill is intense and piercing).
