OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
The correct answer is D .
The fact that the union leader had to raise his voice to address the audience indicates that the audience wasn't just unsettled but was also loud and noisy. "Vociferous" means loud and noisy. Choices A, "disturbed," and B, disagreeable," imply unsettled but these words do not necessarily suggest noisiness. Choice C, "attentive," means "listening carefully," which is the opposite of what the audience in this sentence is doing. Choice E , "stringent," is spelled similarly to "strident," which means "loud and noisy," but "stringent" actually means "rigorous," which does not make sense in this context.
