Question

read the sentence below from paragraph 9.

in this cache would be ammunition for his empty weapon, fishhooks and lines, a small net—all the utilities for the killing and snaring of food.

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

○ burying

○ cooking

○ releasing

○ trapping

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "snaring" in the sentence, we analyze the context. The cache contains items like ammunition, fishhooks, lines, and a net, all for obtaining food. "Snaring" should relate to capturing food. "Burying" (hiding) and "cooking" (preparing) don't fit. "Releasing" is the opposite of capturing. "Trapping" means catching, which matches the use of tools like fishhooks, lines, and a net to catch food.

Answer:

D. trapping
