Question

then he climbed the steps, silent as a wraith.
in the sentence above, wraith has the same or almost the same meaning as:
phantom
breeze
tapestry
stone

Explanation:

A "wraith" is a ghost or a phantom. A "breeze" is a light wind. A "tapestry" is a piece of thick cloth with pictures sewn on it. A "stone" is a hard solid piece of mineral. Since the sentence uses "silent as a wraith" to describe someone climbing steps quietly, and a phantom (ghost) is also silent, "phantom" is the closest in meaning.

Answer:

phantom
