Question

1. if you wrap a blanket around a ringing alarm clock and the sound becomes quieter what word best describes the sound?

muffled
clear
loud
soft

Explanation:

When a blanket is wrapped around an alarm clock, the blanket absorbs or dampens the sound waves, making the sound less clear and more subdued. "Muffled" means a sound that is made quieter and less distinct, often by being covered or blocked. "Clear" would mean the sound is easy to hear and distinct, which is not the case here. "Loud" is the opposite of what happens (the sound becomes quieter). "Soft" generally refers to a gentle or low - volume sound, but "muffled" more specifically describes a sound that is dampened by an obstruction (the blanket), so "muffled" is the best fit.

Answer:

A. Muffled
