Question

What does the word clamoured likes mean in the sentence

Answer 1

(It means they're making loud shouts as they ask for ice cream.) "Clamor" comes from the same Latin root as some other words you already know: "exclaim" and "claim." ... "But the word 'clamor' doesn't add any meaning to the sentence from the story. Why didn't Poe just write, 'I replied to the yells'?"

hope that i helped :)
