Question

What is most closely the meaning of superseded as it is used in the passage below (paragraph 3)?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. | verb | taken the place of; succeeded

Explanation:

"Take the place of" or "succeeded" would best replace the word 'superseded' in this passage.

It isn't A because there is no evidence in the passage to support this answer.

It isn't B because there is no evidence in the passage to support this answer.

It isn't C because to supersede does not necessarily connote defeat in a literal sense.

Hope this isn't confusing. Hope this helps! :D
