This is a personal question. I will answer below according to the word that was unfamiliar to me, but feel free to add to the answer in case there were more for you.
Answer and Explanation:
The word that I found unfamiliar and whose meaning I did not know at first was "behest". I had never seen that word before. To understand its meaning, I looked for context clues. <u>The rest of the sentence in which "behest" appears functions as a clue to finding its meaning. It says that, at a person's behest, something happened: "the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself. . ." As soon as I read this part, it made me think of the word "command." For instance, the sentence "At the general's command, the troops advanced" has a similar connotation to the one with "behest".</u>
To confirm my assumptions, I looked the word up online and found it indeed means "order" or "command".
The answer is A: predict.
Multiple choice questions tend to be intricate and, in most cases, at least two of the options are either semantically or meaningfully very close, so that choosing between them is the real test —if one can choose the right answer from those two options that are so close to each other, and amongst all options in general, then the student proves he or she has grasped the sense of the question. That is why, predicting the answer can assist the student in choosing the right answer by either confirming his prediction or testing it in order to come up with the right option.
