Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,

The muttering retreats

Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels

And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:

Streets that follow like a tedious argument

Of insidious intent

What does the use of the word muttering suggest?

a feeling of discontent

the noise of city streets

the inability to be understood

a sense of loneliness

Nola Keller · Answer 1

In the use of the story it is a feeling of discontent

Explanation:

I tried the inability to understand and it was wrong, instead of using the word muttering I filled in my answer that i thought was right and most logical in its place. I got 100 on that quiz though. (the second time)
