Which word best describes the jungle scene as Marlow it in Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad A Silent B Raucous C Comforting D Lively?

The best word to describe the jungle scene as Marlow experiences it in *Heart of Darkness* is B. Raucous.

Here's why:

* Silent: The jungle is far from silent. It's filled with sounds of insects, animals, and the rustling of leaves.

* Comforting: The jungle is presented as a hostile and unsettling place, far from comforting.

* Lively: While there's a sense of life and activity, the jungle is more characterized by a chaotic and overwhelming energy.

Raucous captures the cacophony of sounds and the overwhelming, unsettling atmosphere of the jungle in *Heart of Darkness*.
