Question: 112

11. The word chiefly most nearly means

  • A. mainly.
  • B. initially.
  • C. only.
  • D. wisely.

Correct Answer: A

Explanation:

The correct answer is (A). The sentence states that the fibers henequen and sisal are also used in rope making, but chiefly for twine. The sentence explains that most of the use of these fibers occurs in the making of twine. The word chiefly here is closest in meaning to the world mainly, so choice (A) is correct.
