Select the most appropriate one-word substitution for the given group of words
A collection of slaves or a line of animals.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
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.
