Question

Read this line from Frankenstein by Mary Shelley: A mummy again endued with animation could not be so hideous as that wretch. Which definition of endued is most likely suited for this line? a. 12th Century: led b. 15th Century: initiated c. 20th Century: provided d. 20th Century: dyed

Answer 1

I'd say the answer is C, 20th century - provided. Because if you provide something with animation, you bring it to life, which is exactly what Frankenstein did to his monster, brought it back to the world of the living.

Answer 2

This would be impossible, the book was written in 1817, that's the 19th century, how would Mary Shelley know of future definitions?
