Question

what does the underlined word mean in the following sentence? jai deux soeurs et un beau-frère. ○ step-brother ○ big brother ○ little brother ○ half brother

Explanation:

The underlined word "beau - frère" is a French word. In French, "beau - frère" can mean "step - brother" (it can also have other meanings like brother - in - law, but among the given options, "step - brother" is the most appropriate match). The other options: "big brother" would be "grand frère", "little brother" would be "petit frère", and "half brother" would be "demi - frère", which do not match "beau - frère" as closely as "step - brother" among the provided choices.

Answer:

A. step - brother
