The whole chorus was in full blast, the hummers humming, the shouters bellowing, the tappers hard at work upon the benches, while every now and then came a musical cyclone of "incomparable! divine! " from the trained phalanx who intoned their applause, their united voices sweeping over the tumult as the drone of the wind dominates the roar of the sea.
based on the context of the passage, which definition most clearly fits the word tumult?

the crashing of waves against rocks
the overall agreement of a large group

A violent or noisy commotion

Explanation:

We can infer the definition of tumult is a violent or noisy commotion because the passage describes various strong sounds and noises happening at once, without a specific order: “the hummers humming, the shouters bellowing, the tappers hard at work upon the benches,” as well as the sound of the wind, and of the sea, while the trained phalanx sang "Incomparable! Divine!."
