Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Answer: Anthology — this word means a collection of poems and is the correct substitute.

Explanation:

  • Anthology: A published collection of poems, stories, or other literary pieces. This matches "a collection of poems."

  • Ethology: The scientific study of animal behavior; unrelated to collections of writing.

  • Entomology: The study of insects; not connected to literary collections.

  • Palaeology: Relates to ancient history or the study of antiquities (often associated with paleontology); it does not mean a collection of poems.

Tip: When selecting a substitute for a phrase about a collection of writings, choose the word that specifically denotes a gathered set of literary works.
