Select the one-word substitute for the underlined group of words that can fill in the blank.

A ______ is an industrial facility which manufactures coins that can be used as currency.

  • A.kiln
  • B.mint
  • C.treasury
  • D.bank

Answer: B

A mint is an industrial facility that manufactures coins used as currency. A kiln is an oven for firing materials such as clay or bricks, a treasury stores and manages a government's funds, and a bank takes deposits and lends money. None of these three manufactures coins, so mint is the right word. The word 'mint' also stands for the place where coins are made as well as for the act of making them, which is the sense the sentence needs.
