Answer:
I like a lot of noise around me
like the gentle breeze passing through the tree
the crickets chirping outside at night
and the distant buzz of the far away kite
the birds singing their lovely tune
the owls hooting while I look at the moon
the angelic voice of a legendary singer
but never someone pulling a trigger
I dislike the sound of barking dogs
and woodpeckers pecking aimlessly at logs
the loud sounds of children crying
and the loud cries of animals dying
I never liked the sounds of the street
the horns, cars, trucks, never sounded sweet
C. rant
He went into a long rant about the outcome of the election after it was mentioned on the news.
assert and fastidious are not nouns, which is what the sentence is asking for "a thing", so they are not the correct answers. As well they only mention one person in the sentence and quibble is an argument, which needs more than one person. Therefore it is not likely to be the correct answer. A rant is a long tirade by one person, it fits the best within the sentence.
