Correct Answer: dog-eared


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.

Dog-eared means the corners of the pages are turned down through use. This is the correct option, as it aligns with the context of receiving books and suggests that the books have been well-used or frequently read.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Dogface: It refers to the face of a dog.

  • Dogleg: In golf, a hole that bends sharply to the right or left.

  • Dogging: The continuous pursuit, harassment, or tracking of someone or something.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I was happy to receive my father's dog-eared books."
