2. jonathan was irritated by the noise made by the loud musical procession on the street.
3. the poor farmer was in for a pleasant surprise when he stumbled upon a pot of gold buried in his yard.

options for the blank (shown in the drop - down): predestined, precarious, voracious, fortunate, incessant

Explanation:

For the second sentence, we need an adjective to describe the noise that irritated Jonathan. "Incessant" means continuing without interruption, which fits the context of a loud musical procession making a non - stopping noise. "Predestined" is about fate, "precarious" means risky, "voracious" is about hunger or eagerness, and "fortunate" is about luck, so they don't fit the context of describing noise.

Answer:

incessant
