Question

read the following sentences and answer the question below: \ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, consider the amazing shrinking transistor! watch it contract a million times until it becomes a tiny dot visible only under a powerful microscope!\ what does the word contract mean in this context? a) agreement or pact b) form an agreement c) shrink d) to get or incur, as in a virus or disease

Explanation:

The context mentions "the amazing shrinking transistor" and "contract a million times until it becomes a tiny dot". The word "shrinking" gives a clue that "contract" here means to become smaller. Option C "shrink" fits this context. Options A and B relate to agreements which are not relevant here. Option D about getting a virus or disease is also not in line with the context of the transistor becoming smaller.

Answer:

C. shrink
