Question

She was dark and thin and foreign-looking in a world where the prestige went to blondness and curly hair and dimples, slow where glibness was prized.

What is the best meaning for the word prestige?
disrespect
anger
distinction
distrust

Answer 1

Distinction. Prestige usually means "high honor" and so none of the others have anything to do with high honor. 

Answer 2

Answer:

distinction

Explanation:

The word "prestige" most closely resembles the word "distinction" in meaning. Both words imply some honour, or praise. In this case, what the author means is that at this time, children who were appreciated were those who were blond and had dimples and curly hair. On the other hand, the girl we are discussing is dark and thin, which earns her no recognition.
