\mr. agbele became so accustomed to the question that he hardly heard
it.\ (paragraph 22)
what does the phrase accustomed to mean as it is used in this sentence?
① familiar with
② hardened by
③ inclined by
④ upset with

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "accustomed to", we analyze the context: Mr. Agbele hardly heard the question because he was used to it. "Familiar with" aligns with being used to or habituated to something. "Hardened by" implies emotional or physical hardening, "inclined by" suggests a tendency, and "upset with" means being annoyed—none fit as well as "familiar with".

Answer:

① familiar with
