Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A to D below each of the following sentences, choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to underlined word as it used in the sentence. 

The prescribed textbooks are difficult to find in the bookshops. 

Answer Details
The word that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word "prescribed" is "recommended." In this context, "prescribed" means required or officially designated. The sentence is saying that it is difficult to find the textbooks that are required or officially designated for the course. The word "recommended" also means suggested or advised, and in this case, it makes sense because the textbooks that are recommended for the course are probably the same ones that are required or prescribed. Highlighted means to emphasize or draw attention to something. Right means correct or accurate. Actual means existing in fact; real or genuine.
