Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank and make a grammatically correct sentence.

For many, The Lion King is _____ as a childhood memory.

treasured

The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is treasured.

The word "treasured" means "to hold something dear or valuable." This is the most appropriate word because it accurately describes how many people hold The Lion King dear as a childhood memory.

The other options are not as appropriate.

• Invested means "to put money into something in order to make a profit." This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because people are not investing in The Lion King as a childhood memory.
• Deposited means "to put something in a safe place." This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because people are not depositing The Lion King in a safe place as a childhood memory.
• Inherited means "to receive something from someone who has died." This does not make sense in the context of the sentence, because people are not inheriting The Lion King as a childhood memory from someone who has died.
