Question

which of the following words most closely replaces differentiated, as it appears in part 2, chapter 6, without changing the meaning? he began speaking with the peculiar grave courtesy that differentiated him from the majority of inner party members a. opinionated b. distinguished c. ingratiated d. advocated ca - ccss: cal.11 - 12.4a ca - eld: eld.p1.11 - 12.6.c.br, eld.p1.11 - 12.6.c.em, eld.p1.11 - 12.6.c.ex

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the meaning of "differentiated" in the context. The sentence means his courtesy made him different from other Inner Party members. Now, analyze each option:

• Option A: "opinionated" means having strong opinions, not related to "differentiated".
• Option B: "distinguished" can mean to make someone or something different or set apart, which matches the meaning of "differentiated" in the sentence (his courtesy distinguished him from others).
• Option C: "ingratiated" means to gain favor by flattering, not related.
• Option D: "advocated" means to support or recommend, not related.

Answer:

B. distinguished
