Soal menanyakan maksud dari kata 'deprive'.

'Deprive' artinya menghilangkan. Konteks 'deprive' pada kalimat tersebut adalah kehilangan hak milik atas sesuatu. Hal ini diketahui dari terjemahan kalimat tersebut yakni "Pendeta tidak ingin kehilangan hak milik atas Nai Manggale." Oleh karena itu, makna 'deprive' pada kalimat tersebut sama dengan 'to dispossess'.
