The correct answer is B. Loud, shrill

Explanation:

In the excerpt presented, the word "piercing" is used to describe the voice of Athena. In this, it explained her voice "stopped all fighters cold", this suggests her voice had a great impact, and therefore her voice can be described as loud or strident. According to this, the word "piercing" means "loud" or "shrill" because only a loud and shrill voice will have the effect of stopping fighters. Also, the powerful voice of Athena cannot be defined through other words such a soft or hushed.

How can you prevent the flash from going off no matter how much light there is
muminat

Answer:

Tripod can be used

Explanation:

Tripod can be used. ( Tripod is a three-legged stand that can be used to support a camera.)

If your camera is more stable then it can spend more time on one photo and consequently it can take in more light. In this way, flash is not required. A reflecting shield can also be used to direct the sunlight directly on the object.
