Answer as written by the student:
The phrase that would correctly substitute ‘a locker’, in the given sentence from the extract, is (d) A box.
Step-by-step explanation of the answer:
Evaluate the four options given and see which one matches the meaning and the tone of the original word.
- Option (a) A cupboard does not fit the context of the passage, and it would not make sense to keep a spare pump in a cupboard.
- Option (b) A drawer does not fit the context of the passage, and it would not be easy to find or fix a spare pump in a drawer.
- Option (c) A shelf does not fit the context of the passage, and it would not be safe or discreet to keep a spare pump on a shelf.
- Option (d) A box fits the context of the passage, and it makes sense to keep a spare pump in a box.
