Read the following passage from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock":
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 intent
Which words from this passage best demonstrate the speaker's feeling that
life is tiresome and dull?

Answer 1

Answer:

The speaker shows that life is tiresome and dull when he mentions "tedious argument // of insidious intent". The very definition of the word "tedious" is dull, monotonous. It's not just a minor detail when the speaker mentions "streets that follow". You could say that streets are the path that he is following and it's tedious.

Answer 2

Answer:

tedious argument
