From Charles Lamb's *Tales from Shakespeare* (1807). Choose the word that **best matches** the meaning of the underlined word. "'I must **recount** what you have been, which I find you do not remember,' said Prospero."

*Recount* in the sense Prospero uses it means **to narrate, to tell again** — to tell the story of what Ariel has been. The word combines Latin *re-* (again) + *contare* (to relate, to tell). - **B** (*count again*) takes the modern numerical sense, irrelevant here. - **A** and **D** reverse or distort the meaning. Distinction: *count* (number) and *recount* (narrate) share the *re-cont-* root but split in modern English. NDA-style English tests this kind of multiple-meaning recognition through context. The surrounding clause *which I find you do not remember* tells you Prospero is about to **tell the story** of Ariel's past, not count anything.
