Question

After the trumpet was sounded and the flag folded , a member of the honor guard knelt in front of my frail, aging mother mother, looked her directly on the eye and in a SOFT voice thanked her and my father for his service.It was beautiful, and touching , and I was thankful for the recognition of a life well lived

Which best identifies the connotative definition of the capitalized word.
Not hard or firm to the touch
Not loud
Gentle
Pliable
Please only anwser if 100 percent sure , please explain answer .Thank you

Answer 1

My answer is gentle hope this helps.

Answer 2

The answer is gentle because within context, the stanza concludes the thankfulness and frail tone the people have toward each other, and the fact that it would be gentle, makes the most sense compared to "pliable" or "not hard or firm to the touch". Hope this helps, good luck.
