At night, Central Park "was full of hundreds of people who slept on the grass. Babies cried in the darkness, men’s deep voices【B8】______, and a woman let out a(n) 【B9】______high laugh beside the lake." It was still hot in the park, and it was crowded, but the【B10】______of the space made the heat easier to【B11】______.
