Does this sentence make sense The fear had dissipated but the deafening silence still lingered in the vague afternoon humidity?

Answer 1

The sentence, " The fear had dissipated but the deafening silence still lingered in the vague afternoon humidity," is a logical, though wordy, sentence. There should however, be a comma between "dissipated" and "but."

Answer 2

Yes, the sentence makes sense. It suggests that while the fear has disappeared, the intense silence is still present in the vague afternoon humidity. The sentence effectively conveys a lingering sense of unease or tension despite the absence of fear.
