Answer:

(C) consider.

Explanation:

In this scenario, the professor has an intense knowledge of the playwright’s works, and he will not entertain any doubt concerning their authorship.

<em>In the lines above, "entertain" most nearly means consider.</em>

The professor having an intense knowledge simply means that he has an excessive or extreme level of knowledge of the playwright’s works. Therefore, with this high degree of knowledge about the work, he would not entertain or consider any doubt concerning their authorship.

In this context, to entertain simply means to hold an idea in one's mind, think about, have in mind, or to be willing to consider an idea.

<em>Hence, the most appropriate word that is nearest in meaning to "entertain" in the above statement is "consider."</em>

Dafna11 [192]
Hello, so the verb is the action and the compound subject is going to be our second subject in the sentence. To distinguish whether it is corresponding or not we are going to make sure that it is in the right tense, person, etc.
So lets look at our options
Our first sentence has the first subject plural but not the second subject, and an improper use of the verb making this sentence grammatically incorrect.
Our second sentence the verb and compound correspond correctly so no mistakes here.
The third sentence we are distinguishing whether we use begun or began. Began is past tense and begun is past participle.
The last sentence is grammatically incorrect because the action/verb 'stores' does not correspond with our compound subject.
So that leaves us with the answer being B.
I hope I helped! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation please let me know! :)
