Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Answer: Mint — a place where coins are produced.

Explanation:

  • A mint is a facility where metal coins are coined or manufactured for a country.

  • Example: If his books sell in the States, he'll make a mint. In this sentence, "make a mint" is an idiom meaning "earn a lot of money," not a reference to the place itself.

Meanings of the other options:

  • Mortuary — a room or building where dead bodies are kept before burial or cremation.

  • Orchard — a piece of land planted with fruit trees.

  • Aviary — a large enclosure or building where birds are kept.

Therefore, "Mint" is the correct one-word substitute for "A place where money is coined."
