He could speak a little Spanish, and also a language which nobody understood, unless it was the mocking-bird that hung on the other side of the door, whistling his fluty notes out upon the breeze with maddening persistence.

Which words from the excerpt give the best evidence that “fluty” means “high pitched”?

“speak” and “Spanish”

“mocking-bird” and “hung”

“whistling” and “notes”

“maddening” and “persistence
