To choose the best matching letter, we need to understand the meaning of the word in italics, which is "reminiscent." "Reminiscent" means that something reminds you of or brings to mind something else. In this sentence, it says that the decorations were reminiscent of autumn leaves, which means they were reminding or making people think of autumn leaves.
Now, let's look at the given options and choose the letter that best matches the meaning of "reminiscent":
- Leftovers: Leftovers refer to the food remaining after a meal. This option does not match the meaning of "reminiscent."
- Made: This option does not match the meaning of "reminiscent."
- Reminders: This option matches the meaning of "reminiscent" because reminders bring something to mind or make you remember something.
- Symbolic: Although symbolic objects can bring something to mind or have a deeper meaning, in this context, "symbolic" does not best match the idea of reminding or thinking of something specific.
Therefore, the letter that best matches the word in italics, "reminiscent," is "C) reminders."
