Question: 136
11. The word staples most nearly means
- A. fasteners.
- B. supplies.
- C. transportation.
- D. experiences.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer is (B). The sentence states Wattles established a general store where travelers could purchase such staples as were essential for the journey. Essential items for the journey could also be described as travel supplies, so choice (B) is correct. The word fasteners is similar to one meaning of the word staples, but this definition does not fit the context here.
