Question

Use context to determine the correct meaning of the

word "state" in the sentence.
Listening to several people talk at once left Jerrod in a
state of confusion
What does the word "state" mean in the sentence?
A.) declaration
B.) a condition of the mind
C.) central government
D.) social status

Answer 1

The answer is B. Hope that helps lol

Answer 2

Answer: B) Condition of mind

Explanation: Looking at the sentence, we can right off the bat eliminate central government (C) and social status (D). These make no sense when applying them to the sentence. Moving onto A) declaration. In order for this to work, Jerrod would have had to declare his state of confusion, internally or out loud (which he does not). This leaves us with B). Knowing that Jerrod is feeling confused, and knowing that confusion can be a state your mind can be in, we have our answer.

Hope this helps!
