Question

1. what is the best meaning of consummated as it is used in the following passage on page 123? for everything to be consummated, for me to feel less alone, i had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate. a. accomplished b. celebrated c. destroyed d. ignored

Explanation:

In the context of the passage, "consummated" is used to mean that something is brought to a complete or perfected state. "Accomplished" (Option A) best fits this meaning as it implies the achievement or completion of a state (in this case, the speaker's desire for a certain situation on the day of execution). "Celebrated" (Option B) implies a festive or joyous marking which doesn't fit the somber tone. "Destroyed" (Option C) is the opposite of what is needed as the speaker wants a certain state to occur (not be ruined). "Ignored" (Option D) also doesn't align with the idea of a state coming to fruition.

Answer:

A. accomplished
