Select the text from the paragraph that best helps you understand that cacophony means chaotic noise. There may be more than one correct choice.
It's a summer night in New Mexico. A great deluge has just swept over the desert landscape, creating ponds out of roadside ditches, once-empty watering holes, and playas. The conditions are now right for spadefoot toads to gather in these ponds and lay their eggs, all in a single night. As hundreds of male toads call for a mate, the normal stillness and silence of the desert is broken by the cacophony of their quack-like calls. By morning, up to
2,500 eggs may have been laid by each female.
