Cacophony means a harsh, discordant mixture of sound that is annoying or irritating. A combination of sounds that is not in harmony.

The words that form the clue to the meaning of cacophony are:
1) blare, battered, trumpet
2) smash, cymbals
3) anguished, screech, poorly-played saxophone

Trumpet, cymbals, and saxophone are all musical instruments. If these instruments were in very good condition and were played well, then the sounds they would have produced will be harmonious.

Answer:

His  brother's name was Remus.

Explanation:

The story of Romulus and Remus is an old Roman myth about the foundation of the city of Rome. Romulus and Remus were twin brothers whose mother, a Vestal virgin, was the daughter of a displaced king. Her uncle, who was then the ruler, saw the boys as threat and ordered them to be killed.

Romulus and Remus were abandoned by a river, saved by a deity, suckled by a she-wolf, and finally adopted by a shepherd. They grew up to find out about their true identities and help their grandfather take power back.

When Romulus and Remus set off to found their own city, they weren't able to agree on where it should be founded. Their dispute grew and, according to the myth, Romulus ended up killing his twin brother, founding the city of Rome, and becoming its first ruler.
