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.

kherson [118]

Answer and Explanation:

In Amy Tan's short story "Rules of the Game", the conflict is mainly external, man vs. man or, more specifically, daughter vs. mother. Waverly and her mother seem incapable of understanding each other's feelings and demonstrations of such feelings. That is made very clear toward the end of the story, when the mother proudly introduces Waverly to every one, even strangers, on the street. Waverly is a sort of child prodigy, a chess genius, and her mother can't help but display her. Waverly, however, does not enjoy being exhibited, reacting in a way that is disrespectful and offensive, in her mother's opinion.
