Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
An oracle is a person (such as a priestess) through whom a deity is believed to speak. In this context, it is a person who would identify a "chosen one."
An auricle is the anatomical term for the outer part of the ear. The sentence refers to a mole on his ear.
The correct sentence should be:
"The villagers brought the little boy to the oracle, who examined him closely, spotted a mole on his left auricle and solemnly declared him the chosen one."
