While traveling through the Second Ring, Dante and Virgil come across a place with many dark trees, but no actual people. They can hear voices screaming in pain, but they can't see them. Virgil tells Dante to break off a twig from one of the trees, after which the tree cries in pain and starts bleeding. Virgil then explains that all of these trees are souls of people who've hurt themselves during life, those who have willingly discarded their own bodies and committed suicide. Thus whenever the tree is hurt (a branch broken off), they feel pain as if they were dismembered.
Answer:
A battle between living things to determine the superior mortal.
Explanation:
Sentence No 1. "The low note was a grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog."
Assuming that nobody would want to be compared to an ill-conditioned dog, this sentence expresses mockery. The term "discordant" itself means inharmonious and off-key. Good music is universally known to be harmonious and pleasing to the ears.
Sentence No. 2 "Then suddenly the singer threw up his face, straightened his tubby figure, rose upon his tiptoes, and with a wagging head and scarlet cheeks emitted such a howl as the same dog might have given had his growl been checked by a kick from his master."
The first part of the sentence doesn't express too much mockery, just a frank description, but the second part of the sentence starting from "emitted such a howl" expresses mockery. In this description, the subject's voice is being compared to a pained animal. "A kick from his master" is known to be a universal punishment for dogs (unless the dog enjoys being kicked which is very, very, unlikely). Unless the goal of the subject is to sound like a punished animal, this is not a compliment. A good voice is pleasing to the ear while a howl, consequence of pain, will be loud, shrill, and abrupt.
Sentence No. 3 "Many a singer far better than this absurd fop had been driven amid execration and abuse from the platform."
The narrator in this sentence is being quite straightforward about his opinion on the subject by declaring him an "absurd fop". Absurd means unusual or inappropriate, so if something is called "absurd" it's in a negative way.
