To answer this question, we need to identify the word or phrase that best matches the meaning of the word in italics, which is "reminiscent."
The word "reminiscent" means that something brings to mind or is suggestive of something else. In this case, the word "reminiscent" describes how the decorations are like autumn leaves.
Now, let's look at the response options:
- leftovers: This doesn't match the meaning of "reminiscent." Leftovers refer to food or other items remaining after a meal or event.
- made: This response option does not match the meaning of "reminiscent." "Made" simply means that something was created or produced.
- reminders: This option matches the meaning of "reminiscent" because reminders bring to mind or evoke memories of something else. Therefore, this is the correct answer.
- symbolic: This option does not directly match the meaning of "reminiscent." While something symbolic can also remind or represent something else, "reminders" is a better match in the context of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct answer is "reminders."

"Imagine a wolf moving through the northern woods. The movement, over a trail he has traversed many times before, is distinctive, unlike that of a cougar or a bear, yet he appears, if you are watching, sometimes catlike or bearlike. It is purposeful, deliberate movement. Occasionally the rhythm is broken by the wolf's pause to inspect a scent mark, or a move off the trail to paw among stones where a year ago he had cached meat."
