Question

what does
eplaceable\ mean in these sentences? when shashi’s picture frame fell and broke, dad said, \don’t worry. it’s replaceable. i’ll be able to get another one and put it back up.\ options: very likely to be dropped again; to put in the middle of something; can have a new one put in its spot; without any way to be fixed

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "replaceable", we analyze the context. Dad says he can get another picture frame and put it back up. So "replaceable" here means that a new one can be put in the spot of the broken one. Let's check the options:

• "very likely to be dropped again" is incorrect as the context is about replacing, not dropping again.
• "to put in the middle of something" is irrelevant to the meaning of replaceable.
• "can have a new one put in its spot" matches the context of getting a new frame to replace the broken one.
• "without any way to be fixed" is the opposite of what's implied (since he can replace it, it's not about being unrepairable).

Answer:

can have a new one put in its spot
