Which term means 'Takes the place of'?

• A. Prefix
• B. Setting
• C. Replaces
• D. Repetitive

Answer: (C)

Substitution is the idea being tested here—the act of one thing taking the place of another. The word that fits this meaning is replaces, because it describes something that steps in for something else or acts as a substitute. For example, if a new product replaces an older model, it takes the place of that older item. The other terms don’t fit because they describe different ideas. A prefix is a word part added to the beginning of a base word; setting refers to location or environment; repetitive means happening again and again. None of these convey the idea of taking the place of something else.
