Question

read the dictionary entry for spot.
spot /spät/ noun

1. small round mark
2. a place for an individual within a show
3. a blemish or stain
4. a particular place

which definition most closely matches the meaning of spot as used in paragraph 1?
a definition 1
b definition 3
c definition 2
d definition 4

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the definitions. Definition 4 ("a particular place") is often the context - appropriate meaning for "spot" in many paragraph - based usages (e.g., referring to a specific location). Definitions 1 (small mark), 2 (show - related place), and 3 (blemish) are less likely in a general "place" - related context of a paragraph. So the correct option is D.

Answer:

D. Definition 4
