Question 26

The word 'suit' refers to any of the four sets into which a deck of cards is divided.

In the context of the passage, 'suit' specifically pertains to the categories of cards within a deck, which are spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs.

A) A set of clothing to be worn together

This option is incorrect because it defines 'suit' in the context of fashion rather than its meaning related to card games. The passage is entirely focused on Bridge, and does not reference clothing at all.

B) Any of the four sets into which a deck of cards is divided

This option is correct as it aligns perfectly with the passage's description of Bridge. The text explicitly mentions the four suits of cards ranked from highest to lowest, confirming that this is the intended meaning of 'suit.'

C) To be convenient or right for

This option is incorrect because it describes a different usage of the word 'suit.' In this context, the passage does not discuss suitability in terms of convenience or appropriateness; it focuses solely on the card game terminology.

D) To request or appeal persistently

This option is not relevant to the passage, as it defines a different action that does not pertain to the game of Bridge or the meaning of 'suit' within the context provided.

Conclusion

The correct answer, option B, is definitively right because it accurately reflects the specific meaning of 'suit' as used in the context of the game of Bridge. All other options fail to connect to the passage's content, which exclusively discusses card suits rather than clothing, suitability, or persistent requests.
