The meaning of the word 'acquired' as used in the sentence about inheritance.

• A. Revoked
• B. Procured
• C. Acquired
• D. Stolen

Answer: (B)

Acquired here means coming into possession or obtaining something, typically through inheritance or a transfer from someone else. It’s about gaining something that becomes yours as a result of someone else’s actions, not about taking it away or losing it.

The closest fit among the options is procured, which means obtained or acquired. Revoked means canceled or taken back, which contradicts the idea of gaining possession. Stolen suggests taking something unlawfully, which also doesn’t match the idea of receiving something through inheritance. Using the same word would be circular, so procured best captures the sense of obtaining what one inherits.
