Hmmm...there are differing views on this one. Maybe it should be in the essay portion of the test & not the multiple choice section?

The noun "tomb" has 1 sense in WordNet.

1. grave, tomb -- (a place for the burial of a corpse (especially beneath the ground and marked by a tombstone); "he put flowers on his mother's grave")
