On a final consideration, Mr. Abererombie’s book strikes us as singular . . . . . . . thought.

attributive
significant
symptomatic
evocative

The correct answer is: B. significant

The word “significant” means “important, notable, or consequential.” In this context, it is used to describe Mr. Abererombie’s book as being a work of great importance and thought-provoking ideas.

The other options are not as accurate in describing the book. The word “attributive” means “serving to attribute or ascribe something.” This does not accurately describe the book, as it is not simply ascribing something to someone or something else. The word “symptomatic” means “of or relating to a symptom.” This does not accurately describe the book, as it is not simply a symptom of something else. The word “evocative” means “calling forth a strong emotional response.” This does not accurately describe the book, as it is not simply calling forth a strong emotional response.

Therefore, the correct answer is: B. significant
