Explanation:

Question 8

The word "refurbished" means to restore or renovate something, especially an old item, to a good condition. So a refurbished car has been restored. Option b is incorrect as it's not brand new. Option c is incorrect as "refurbished" doesn't mean old and junky. Option d is incorrect as it's not about just being bought.

Advisers are people who give advice. So if you meet with advisers, they would give you advice. Option a is incorrect as advisers don't necessarily give money. Option b is incorrect as it's about liking ideas, not the role of advisers. Option c is incorrect as you would take their advice, not the other way around.

Citing a fact from a book means using that fact to support or prove a point, often in a written or spoken argument. Option a is incorrect as citing isn't about reading speed. Option c is incorrect as citing has nothing to do with buying the book. Option d is incorrect as an artist is not related to citing a fact.

Answer:

a. has been restored
