Question:

Select the most appropriate one-word substitution for the given group of words

 

A collection of slaves or a line of animals.

Options:

Herd

Coffle

Heathens

None of these

Correct Answer:

Coffle

Explanation:
 

The most appropriate one-word substitution for "a collection of slaves or a line of animals" is coffle.

  • Herd is a group of animals that live and move together.
  • Heathens is a derogatory term for people who do not believe in the same religion as you.
  • None of these is not a word, so it cannot be the answer.

The word coffle comes from the Arabic word "qāfila," meaning "caravan" or "travelling company." In English, it has been used more specifically to refer to a group of slaves or animals chained or strung together.
