The correct answer is "exact".

Key Points

  • The correct option is "exact".
  • The complete sentence would be:
    • Holm, a Danish traveler, had made an exact replica of the tablet, which in 1908 was deposited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
  • Exact refers to conformity to reality, an accepted standard, or the truth.

Additional Information

  • A collocation is a grouping of two or more frequently occurring words.
  • When used frequently by native English speakers, these combinations simply sound "right".
  • Other combinations, however, could sound "wrong" and strange.
  • For instance, we say "heavy rain" but not "strong rain" because it doesn't sound right.
  • Similarly, we say "do exercise" but not "make exercise".
  • Adjectives, verbs, nouns, adverbs, and other word types can all be used to create collocations.
