answer the question that follows: Right now, I am spending a lot of time listening to the voice of a particularly compelling character: the young Merlin. In the end, I finally heard the voice of Merlin thanks to a surprising source: the haunting, mysterious hooting of a great horned owl outside the window of my Colorado home.

Which adjective supports the author's explicit message about his inspiration for Merlin's voice? (10 points)
The adjective that supports the author's explicit message about his inspiration for Merlin's voice is mysterious. The author says that his inspiration came out of nowhere, during the late night (pre-dawn hours), from an owl's hoot. All of these seem very mysterious to me. Young, new, and whole are not the adjectives to describe the author's inspiration, but rather Merlin's voice, which is not the same.
