despised
neglected
shelve
overthrew
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: C. shelve
The word “shelve” means to put something aside for a later time. In this case, the children are putting aside the books they have been reading because their examinations are over. They are not interested in the books anymore and are happy to be done with them.
The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the children’s actions.
- Despise means to hate or dislike something very much. The children do not hate the books they have been reading, they are just done with them.
- Neglect means to fail to take care of something or someone. The children are not neglecting the books, they are simply putting them aside.
- Overthrow means to defeat or overthrow someone or something. The children are not overthrowing the books, they are just putting them aside.
I hope this helps!
