is anxious to know the conclusion of the story."The plumber forgot his snake and had to go back for it," explained Mr. Mulliner. ‘‘I trust that this revelation will prove sedative.""I feel a new man," said the Draught Stout. "I’d have lain awake worrying about that murder all night."Which option most accurately explains how a student who did not know the meaning of sedative could infer its definition?

Answer:The student could use the words "a new man" to infer that sedative refers to something that helps relieve worry.

Explanation:Sedative is supposed to take away your pain or numb certain feelings hence renewing your state of mind or being. For a person to say they are a new man this means they feel renewed and what they felt before they no longer feel anymore, so they are a new man.
