Question: 173
12. The word retained most nearly means
- A. lost
- B. repaired
- C. grown
- D. kept
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is (D). The last paragraph states that the recordings went to the Library of Congress, and the photographs and manuscript materials were retained in Mississippi. From the context, we can infer that even though the recordings went elsewhere, the photographs and manuscript materials stayed in Mississippi. Choice (D), kept, best reflects this meaning. Nothing in the passage suggests that the photographs and manuscript material were lost, so choice (A) is incorrect.
