Read the excerpt from "The Adventure of the Speckled Band.""She had a considerable sum of money—not less than £1000 a year—and this she bequeathed to Dr. Roylott entirely while we resided with him, with a provision that a certain annual sum should be allowed to each of us in the event of our marriage."Which option uses the word bequeathed as it is used in this excerpt?

After reading her brother's will, Jennifer learned that he had bequeathed the ancient family house to her.

Explanation:

The word "bequeathed" is a verb that shows or suggests someone left or 'willed' something to another person. It is majorly used in relation to inheriting of property or money, or in other words, the dissemination of property after the death of a person.

In the excerpt from the story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" by Arthur Conan Doyle, the word "bequeathed" is used to show or indicate that Dr. Roylott was given/ left with a large sum of money by Mrs. Stoner, the mother of Helen Stoner.

So, in regards to this context, the word "bequeathed" is used best in the sentence which indicates that Jennifer had been left the family house by her brother who had died.

"After reading her brother's will, Jennifer learned that he had bequeathed the ancient family house to her."
