Answer: The most likely definition for the words "valediction" and "valedictory" is A)  a speech or statement made to say goodbye.

Explanation:<u> </u><u>The word "valediction" is used to refer to a statement made as a farewell and it can only function as a noun</u>,<u> while the word "valedictory" can be used as a noun</u> and also mean a speech made to say goodbye<u> or it can be used as an adjective</u> and refer to something that contains a farewell. In that way, when it functions as an adjective, "valedictory" collocates with the words "speech" and "wave".  In this excerpt from David Matherne's "A Baker's Dozen", the word "valedictorian", which refers to the student with the highest grades who pronounces a farewell speech during the graduation ceremony, is also used.
