Read this excerpt from “the love song of j. alfred prufrock” and answer the question. let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,  the muttering retreats  of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels  and sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:   streets that follow like a tedious argument  of insidious intentwhat does the use of the word  muttering  suggest? a feeling of discontentthe noise of city streetsthe inability to be understooda sense of lonelinessit's not c so hel0

the inability to be understood

Explanation:

The word "muttering" refers to producing a long, dull sound, it also refers to speaking very low, inaudible and hard to understand.

The author in the above excerpt says that the retreats are muttering, that is, they are incomprehensible. For this reason, we can conclude from J. Alfred Prufrock's "The Song of Love" the word "muttering" refers to the inability to be misunderstood.
