His discordant voice captivated the audience, drawing them into his every word.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
. The second half of the sentence, "drawing them into his every word," indicates a positive reaction from the audience. They are focused and enchanted.
Discordant means harsh, jarring, or lacking in harmony. A "discordant" voice would typically push people away rather than "captivate" them.
To make the sentence logically consistent, we need a word that describes a pleasant voice that would naturally captivate an audience.
Mellifluous means (of a voice or words) sweet or musical; which is pleasant to hear.
Option B) His mellifluous voice captivated the audience: This is the best fit. It uses a positive adjective (mellifluous) to match the positive verb (captivated) and the descriptive phrase at the end.
