Which term refers to clothing and linens that need washing?

• A. Laundry
• B. Sequence
• C. Tourists
• D. Spider

Answer: (A)

The concept tested is vocabulary for items that must be washed. Laundry is the word that refers to clothing and linens that need washing, or to the act of washing them. You’ll often hear someone say, “I have a lot of laundry to do,” or “Time to do the laundry.” That usage specifically targets clothes and sheets, towels, and similar fabrics.

The other terms don’t fit: sequence relates to order or arrangement, tourists are people who travel for leisure, and a spider is an arachnid. None of those describe clothes or linens that need washing, so laundry is the correct choice.
