and testified for their customers’ prominence. Silver stood as one of the 5.______
surest ways to store wealth at a time after neighborhood banks existed. 6.______

traced and retrieved. Customers generally secure the silver for the silver
object they ordered. They saved coins, took them to smiths, and discussed
the type of pieces they desired. Silversmiths complied to these requests 7.______
by melting the money in a small furnace, adding a bit of copper to form

选项
答案
adornments——adornment
解析
本题为名词误用。adornment作为“装饰”是不可数名词,作为“装饰品”为可数名词。此处for adornment表示为了修饰美观的目的,应当用抽象名词。
