Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: Wardrobe means a place where clothes are kept, either a freestanding piece of furniture with doors or a room for storing clothing.
Explanation:
Look at the word parts: the root "robe" relates to clothing, which points to the meaning involving clothes.
The other descriptions refer to different places: a place for planes is a hangar, a place for official records is an archive or records office, and a place for horses is a stable.
Elimination strategy: remove meanings that describe planes, records, or horses, leaving the clothing-related meaning as correct.
Therefore choose the description that says it is a place where clothes are kept.
