coins.

rooms.

Rooms.

Answer 2

rooms

Answer 3

"In this context, the word 'quarters' means..."

When the boys' mom told them to go to their separate quarters this would, in the literal sense, mean that the boys were separated from one another in four equal areas. However, "quarters" is also another word for one's bedroom or living space.

Not knowing how many boys are being talked about in the sentence, we can't assume that they were separated into four equal parts, however the suggestion that their mom sent them each to their respective rooms makes sense for this example.

Though wordy, I hope this helps!
