Question

question 3 of 5
would like \
we walked out with grandpa and grandma to the big bus with the symbol that
grandpa had spotted. marty climbed up the steps and came out with a big
photograph of himself as a young man. he scratched out \to johnny and the girls\
and handed me the photograph and a big pile of tapes. \share em with your friends.
i sure could use a new generation of fans.\ i nodded again.
when we got home from our vacation, papa asked what wed done on our two
weeks away. we showed him the picture of marty robbins and ran off to our room
to listen to his tapes. as the first one began playing, sarah made a face. i shook my
head.
my memory of that trip with grandma and grandpa has faded now. today, i
listen to the poetic lines of marty robbinss music yodel notes that i could never
hope to achieve, telling stories of cowboys that hit your heart like thunder crashing
in the distance. i am so taken that i am nearly speechless. somehow between that
road trip and today, ive truly learned to appreciate what grandpa meant when he
as it is used in paragraph 11, the word taken (highlighted) most nearly means
a removed.
b appropriated.
c entranced.
d biased.

Explanation:

The word "taken" in this context means being so captivated or enchanted (entranced) by Marty Robbins' music that the narrator is nearly speechless. "Removed" (A) and "appropriated" (B) don't fit the context of being affected by music. "Biased" (D) also doesn't make sense as there's no indication of prejudice. "Entranced" (C) aligns with the idea of being deeply drawn in by the music.

Answer:

C. entranced
