There was no superfluous ornament in the room-not one modern piece of furniture, save a brace of workboxes and a lady's desk in rosewood, which stood on a side-table: everything-including the carpet and curtains-looked at once well worn and well saved. (chapter 29)

Based upon its use in the passage, which option best describes the meaning of the term brace?

a pair of something

a device that steadies something

an orthopedic device that supports part of the body

an ornamental beam or framework made from wood

    Based upon the passage, the use of the word brace describes a device that steadies something.

    The following reasons would support the answer.

    First, it did not mention of a pair of something in the room. Second, an orthopedic brace is specific for human use. Lastly, it was stated in the passage that no ornament was in the room, not even a framework made from wood and modern piece of furniture.
