From Charles Lamb's *Tales from Shakespeare* (1807). Choose the word that **best matches** the meaning of the underlined word in the sentence. "This bad witch, Sycorax, for her witchcrafts, too terrible to enter human hearing, was **banished** from Algiers."

*Banished* — formally expelled from a place by authority. The closest synonym is **exiled** (sent away, driven out). - *Welcomed*, *honoured*, *rewarded* all reverse the meaning. Latin root *bannire* (Old French *banir*) = to proclaim outlaw. *Banished* and *exiled* are tight synonyms in English.
