Because of his impeccable enunciation and vocal tone, Thomas was often asked to be the __________ at the town’s yearly reading of the classic Christmas tale.
A. announcer
B. mascot
C. Santa
D. crier
E. lector
Correct Answer: E
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Do not be fooled by the "Santa" or "mascot" options, which really have little to do with the description of Thomas’ enunciation and vocal tone. The most tempting trap answer is likely "announcer," but one does not usually read a tale in the manner of being an announcer. (That type of proclamation more appropriately describes either an introduction to some other thing or the type of speaking done by one conveying some information at an event like a sports match.) The word "lector" literally means "reader." While it is often used to describe one who reads scriptures in a church service, it does have the more general meaning of "reading." It is derived from the Latin for "to read" and is related to English words like"legible," "lectern," and "lecture."
