Question: 220

2. In line 28, "file" most nearly means

  • A. arrange in order
  • B. classify
  • C. sharpen

Correct Answer: D

Explanation:

D is correct. File is used in the following sentence: "People interested in Homesteading first had to file their intentions at the nearest Land Office where they paid a fee of $10 to claim the land… ." Although each of the choices is a possible meaning for the word file, the one that makes sense in the context of this sentence is record (choice D).
