Question

In her poems, Alice Walker retrieves and ------- parts of Black culture that some have been all too quick to ------- the past as fossilized artifacts.

• A. Revitalizes . . consign to
• B. Conjoins . . exclude from
• C. Realigns . . salvage from
• D. Diffuses . . defer to
• E. Refracts . . impose on

Answer 1

The correct option is A Revitalizes . . consign to

Option A fits best to the sentence as the meaning of revitalize is strengthen and retrieve also means the same i.e regain or recover and moreover consign to the past as fossilized artifacts mean in order to get rid of it or from them.

so here the poet wants to regain the parts of black culture back or to strengthen by getting rid of it past fossilized artifacts.

Hence option A is the correct answer.
