Monotone means having no expression in your voice, no anger, no happiness, no interest. This word would affect the tone by giving the reader the feeling that he just doesn't care about what is going on/ what he's talking about. I hope this helped!
The answer is:
Pertelote's screams are likened to the laments of Hasdrubal's wife.
In the excerpt from "The Nun's Priest's Tale" in Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," Lady Pertelote the hen cries so loud that she is compared to Hasdrubal's wife's weeping.

As a consequence, since the narrator describes the hen's grieving as so loud that it attacks the air, it is assumed Pertelote grieved and groaned desperately.
