Question

which synonym correctly completes the sentence? the professor _____ david’s cellphone after he answered it during class. confiscated - seized with authority liberated - set free, released stole - thieve, take wrongfully

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context: a professor taking a student's phone during class (after the student answered it) should be an authoritative seizure, not freeing (liberated) or wrongfully taking (stole). "Confiscated" means seizing with authority, which fits the professor's role in a class setting.

Answer:

A. confiscated - seized with authority
