Question: 314
7. Throughout the passage, "a story" could be replaced by which of the following without changing the author's meaning?
- A. an account
- B. an anecdote
- C. a fable
- D. a fib
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D Read the sentences that use the word "story" and substitute your own word. For example, when Sara says in the last sentence of the 4th paragraph, "she is beginning by telling a story," she means that Miss Minchin is saying something untrue. Each time "story" is used in the passage, it is used to indicate someone is telling a lie.
