The stained tablecloth ----------- from the fine china and lovely flowers the hostess had put on the table.

A
Attracted
B
Detracted
C
Dirty

None of these
Explanation and memory cue

The correct word is 'detracted' because it means to reduce the value or quality of something. The stained tablecloth diminished the appeal of the fine china and lovely flowers, so 'detracted' fits best. 'Attracted' is incorrect as it implies drawing attention positively, 'dirty' is an adjective and does not fit grammatically, and 'None of these' is unnecessary.
