Question: 334

3. In line 20, "nabobs" most nearly means

  • A. elected officials
  • B. wealthy persons
  • C. native sons
  • D. descendants of royalty

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

B is correct. A nabob is “a rich and important person.” Choice D is wrong because although the passage mentions “the palaces of nabobs,” a nabob does not have to be of royal blood. Choices A and C have nothing to do with the word “nabob.”
