Answer 2

C)In the first sentence, rents means large tears in a piece of fabric. In the second sentence, it means a payment to a landlord.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first sentence, a rent is something that can be found in a tattered garment. A garment is a piece of clothing. Tattered describes something as being worn and ripped. These context clues lead us to know that rent means a large tear. In the second sentence, rent is something that comes due. Often forms of payment are things that are due. Therefore, the most logical definition of rent would be a payment.
