Question

Read the following sentence.

Peter credited his tutor for his success in earning good grades in school.

In which two sentences does credited have the same meaning as in the sentence above?
Lily’s parents credited her for her efforts at finding a summer job.
To complete her college course, Kathy was credited with five hours in social studies.
The bank told George that his paycheck was credited to his bank account.
The marigold flower has been credited with many healing qualities since the ancient times.
As a reward, the manager credited all the workers’ accounts with bonuses.

Answer 1

In this situation, credited means "to pay respect to".
Knowing this, the sentence "Lily's parents credited her for her efforts at finding a summer job" can be changed to "Lily's parents [paid respect to] her for her efforts at finding a summer job" and the sentence still makes sense.

What other sentence can you replace the word credited with the phrase "paid respect to" and it will still make sense?

The marigold flower has been credited with many healing qualities since the ancient times.

Lily’s parents credited her for her efforts at finding a summer job.
