Read the excerpt from “strychnine in the soup,” in which mr. mulliner explains the ending of a mystery novel to a bar patron who is anxious to know the conclusion of the story. “the plumber forgot his snake and had to go back for it,” explained mr. mulliner. ‘‘i trust that this revelation will prove sedative.” “i feel a new man,” said the draught stout. “i’d have lain awake worrying about that murder all night.” explain how a student who did not know the meaning of sedative could infer its definition?

Explanation:

The plumber going back to get his snake was an excuse to cover the murder committed.  The Draught Stout is relieved to hear that there's an excuse to cover the murder if questioning arises.

The key here that could help the student infer the definition of "sedative" is to take a look at the consequences of the revelation. It can be understood that if this revelation turns out to be "sedative", it will produce the Draught Stout a feeling of "relief", as he states "I feel a new man, I'd have lain awake worrying about that murder all night." So, if the revelation is "sedative", it will calm down the Draught Stout consternation for the case.

the answer is d. books are banned from the library. this is an example of censorship because the library did not want people reading the content of those books. the library censored the books by banning them.
