What kind of centerpiece item is used to decorate the table?

• A. Candles and banners
• B. Flower or other centerpiece item
• C. Fruit bowl and decorative nuts
• D. Table runners and placemats

Answer: (B)

A centerpiece is the focal decoration placed in the middle of the table to define the look and draw the eye. Flowers are a classic choice because they provide color, texture, and height without crowding the seating area, but the idea extends to other centerpiece items designed to sit at the center as the main decorative piece. That broader phrasing—flower or other centerpiece item—best captures what’s being asked: the item chosen to decorate and anchor the table’s look in the center. Candles and banners can be part of table decor but aren’t inherently the centerpiece themselves; a fruit bowl could serve as a centerpiece in some setups, but the broader concept is about a central decorative item, not just any table decoration. Table runners and placemats are surface decorations that run along or beneath the items, not the central focal piece.
