B) Song
C) Flood

Answer 1

notice how the words "gushing, gurling, inexhaustible fountains... pouring forth floods..." are used to describe the song. this is pretty clearly describing water, narrowing us down to A) fountain and C) flood

between those two, which one is a better description of how the bobolink and its song are being portrayed?
