It is indeed, D. George's voice deepens and he repeats his words in a lilting rhythm.

Answer 2

D. George's voice deepens and he repeats his words in a lilting rhythm.

George goes through the story slowly, letting Lennie soak it all in. He repeats Lennie's words in rhythm, trying to almost hypnotize him into a peaceful, resting state. Even when they can hear the voices starting to get louder from the people chasing them, George stays calm.
