Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. adopted.

Let's have a look at the meaning of the given options:-

  1. adopted- to legally take another person's child into your own family and take care of him or her as your own child.
  2. assumed- to accept or believe that something is true even though you have no proof; to expect something to be true.
  3. adapted- to become familiar with a new situation and to change your behaviour accordingly.
  4. approved- to be pleased about something; to like somebody/something.

"Adopted" which means "to legally take another person's child into your own family and take care of him or her as your own child" fits in the context appropriately.

Hence, it will be the correct choice.

Correct Sentence:-

My sister adopted a cat and brought it home.
