Explanation:

Question 5

To solve this, we analyze the context. The sentence says the wind made people wear thick coats and scarves. "Frigid" should relate to cold, as thick clothing is for cold weather. "Very noisy" (wind noise isn't linked to thick coats), "very strong" (strength of wind doesn't directly mean needing thick coats), "very wet" (wet wind wouldn't make people wear thick coats for cold) are incorrect. So "Very cold" matches "frigid".

We analyze the context. The song's tone made the audience quiet and thoughtful. "Plaintive" should be a tone that evokes such a reaction. "Silly" would make people laugh, "joyful" would make them happy/energetic, "fast - paced" relates to speed not mood. "Sad or mournful" fits as it can make people quiet and thoughtful.

Answer:

C. Very cold
