Question

1
read the following entries.
dress, adj. dressy, formal
dress, n. frock, gown
dress, v. clothe, bandage, decorate, polish
which word would best replace dress in the sentence below?
the code of conduct stated that students who attend the dance must dress appropriately.
a. clothe
b. frock
c. gown
d. dressy

Explanation:

In the sentence, "dress" functions as a verb meaning to put on clothes. Among the options, "clothe" (a verb meaning to provide or wear clothes) matches the verbal function and meaning of "dress" here. "Frock" and "gown" are nouns (types of clothing), and "dressy" is an adjective (relating to formal clothes), so they do not fit the verb role needed in the sentence.

Answer:

A. clothe
