Answer 1

The correct option is A Arresting

We need to search for clues and hints in the other parts of the sentence to find out which word to use to fill in the blank. The sentence states that the 'audience was panicking' but 'the music lured them into attentive silence'. This means that the music 'caught the attention' of the audience. The only word among the options given that correctly implies 'attention grabbing' is A) Arresting.
