Question

vocabulary directions: choose the word or word group that has about the same meaning as the underlined word. the veterinarian explained that she specialized in large farm animals. a) grew b) found c) played d) focused

Explanation:

The word "specialized" here means to concentrate or direct efforts towards a particular area (large farm animals, in this case). "Focused" also means to direct attention or effort towards a specific thing, so it has a similar meaning to "specialized". "Grew" refers to growth, "found" refers to discovering, and "played" has a different context - none of these match the meaning of "specialized" as closely as "focused".

Answer:

D) focused
