    A shrill Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B mellow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C echoing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D commanding Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The word resonant means deep, clear, and continuing to sound or reverberate.Echoing closely matches this meaning, as it conveys the sense of a sound that reverberates.Shrill is high-pitched and unpleasant, mellow is soft or soothing but doesn’t imply reverberation, and commanding suggests authority, not sound quality.
    The speaker's voice was so echoing that it held the attention of the entire auditorium.
