Correct option is D

As the final notes of the symphony faded, a deep ______ filled the concert hall, leaving the audience to ______ in quiet awe.
Correct Answer: (d) resonance, linger
Explanation:
· Resonance = deep, lasting sound or feeling; perfect for fading music.
· Linger = to remain or stay for a while; matches “quiet awe”.
Other Options:
· Uproar = loud disturbance - contradicts "quiet awe". Fidget = to move restlessly - wrong tone.
· Humdrum = boring/repetitive - not fitting for a symphony. Scatter = to disperse - contradicts the idea of staying.
· Discord = harsh or jarring sound - not suitable after a symphony. Erupt = sudden noise/reaction - tone mismatch.
· Blare = loud harsh sound - not soft/ending. Jolt = sudden shock - doesn't align with "awe".
