Explanation:

Question 3

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "incantation" (a spell) doesn't fit the context of city noise; "inaudible" (unable to be heard) contradicts "noisy city" for a person with limited hearing. Eliminate A.
• Option B: "dissonance" (discordant sound) fits the noise disturbance; "auditory" relates to hearing, so a noisy city's dissonance would be a disturbance for someone with limited auditory ability. This makes sense.
• Option C: "audit" (examination) is irrelevant to noise. Eliminate C.
• Option D: "dialogue" (conversation) doesn't relate to noise; "resonant" (echoing) doesn't fit the disturbance context. Eliminate D.

Analyze each option:

• Option A: "audit" (examination) of power companies makes sense (like a review); "dialogue" (conversation) between consumers and executives fits. This works.
• Option B: "dissonance" (discord) doesn't fit as a "comprehensive" action on companies; "audit" after dissonance is illogical. Eliminate B.
• Option C: "prologue" (introduction) isn't a comprehensive action on companies; "dissonance" between consumers and executives is odd. Eliminate C.
• Option D: "incantation" (spell) is irrelevant to power companies; "dialogue" after incantation is illogical. Eliminate D.

Analyze each option:

• Option A: "audit" (examination) doesn't relate to play words; "disenchanted" (disillusioned) doesn't fit the memory of play words. Eliminate A.
• Option B: "prologue" (introduction of a play) fits the first blank; "resonant" (echoing, memorable) fits words staying in mind. This works.
• Option C: "dissonance" (discord) doesn't fit the first blank (play's words); "resonant" is good but first word is wrong. Eliminate C.
• Option D: "audit" (examination) is irrelevant to play words; "disenchanted" doesn't fit. Eliminate D.

Answer:

B. dissonance; auditory
