Question

read this sentence from the play.

odysseus: i think we are ready to instruct the messenger to relay our false intentions to the trojans. (paragraph 19)

what does the word relay mean as it is used in the sentence?

□ distort

□ exclaim

□ expose

□ transmit

save and continue >

Explanation:

In the context of the sentence, Odysseus is talking about having the messenger send or pass along (relay) false intentions. "Transmit" means to send or pass on information, which fits this context. "Distort" means to change in a misleading way (but the key is sending, not just changing), "exclaim" is to shout, and "expose" is to reveal (not the same as sending as a messenger would).

Answer:

transmit
