Refer to the passage to complete the exercise.

Bighorn sheep $\color{#c34632}{\text{clung}}$ to the canyon walls above the river, and bison $\color{#c34632}{\text{trailed}}$ across the floodplain. Fresh grizzly tracks $\color{#c34632}{\text{punctured}}$ the mud at a melting snowbank's edge. But the creature that $\color{#c34632}{\text{held}}$ my attention here in Yellowstone National Park $\color{#c34632}{\text{was}}$ the one that $\color{#c34632}{\text{seemed}}$ to be talking to itself. Hunched among the pine branches, it $\color{#c34632}{\text{gabbled}}$ , $\color{#c34632}{\text{growled}}$ , and $\color{#c34632}{\text{mewled}}$ without pause. At times the voice $\color{#c34632}{\text{resembled}}$ liquid gurgling through a pipe. Then it $\color{#c34632}{\text{became}}$ a drum and, soon after, a rattle. I $\color{#c34632}{\text{felt}}$ as if I' $\color{#c34632}{\text{d happened}}$ upon a shaman in the midst of his prayers...

I $\color{#c34632}{\text{do}}$ n't $\color{#c34632}{\text{mean}}$ to make this sound too mysterious. The birds $\color{#c34632}{\text{were}}$ only common ravens.

—Douglas H. Chadwick, "Ravens"
