Answer: C. The melancholy scene brought a chill cadence to the back of my neck.

The word "cadence" refers to the rhythm in the flow of sounds and words. When referring to a voice, it can also mean the falling or rising in pitch. Therefore, a melancholy scene cannot cause a "chill cadence." This means that option C is the one that uses a word incorrectly.
