Question

the following text is from booth tarkingtons 1921 novel alice adams. mrs. adams had always been fond of vases, she said, and every year her husbands christmas present to her was a vase of one sort or another - whatever the clerk showed him, marked at about twelve or fourteen dollars. as used in the text, what does the word \marked\ most nearly mean? choose 1 answer: a stained b staged c watched d priced

Explanation:

The context is about the price of the vase ("twelve or fourteen dollars"). "Marked" in this context relates to pricing. "Stained" means having a mark (like a blemish), "staged" means arranged (like a performance), "watched" means observed. None of these fit the price - related context as well as "priced".

Answer:

D. Priced
