READING COMPREHENSION AND VOCABULARY

The sentence has an underlined word or phrase.
There are four options under the sentence.
Choose the option that best keeps the meaning of the original
sentence.

Library cards will expire when they are not used.

A) cost more money B) cease to be effective
C) be mailed to the holder’s address
D) be continued automatically
Library cards are generally issued for a particular period of
time.

In some libraries one has to pay a subscription fee.
Over a period of time the subscription fee may be appreciated
or cost more money.

Library cards are not mailed to the holder’s address as books
are borrowed or renewed by people personally.

Library cards will not be, renewed or continued
automatically, as they are valid only for a specified period of
time.
Since library cards are generally issued for a particular
period of time, they cease to be effective after the expiry date.

The word expire means ‘die’ or to become ‘outdated’ or
‘useless.’

Hence in this context ‘expire’ means ‘cease to be effective’.
