Review the dictionary definitions of the word rubbish below.

rub·bish /ˈrub ish/

noun

1. trash; junk

2. something worthless

3. foolish talk; nonsense

verb

1. [British informal] to criticize as worthless; to attack verbally

After determining the context of the word in Part A, which definition best matches rubbish as it is used in paragraph 18?


A. noun definition 1

B. noun definition 2

C. noun definition 3

D. verb definition 1

Answer 1

I don't have paragraph 18 to check, but the usual meaning of "rubbish" in contexts offering those choices is "litter" (trash). So:

Part A: C (litter)
Part B: A (noun definition 1: "trash; junk")

Reason: "rubbish" commonly refers to discarded items or trash, matching noun definition 1. If you want me to confirm, paste paragraph 18 and I’ll check the exact context.
