Question

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. The meeting in the conference hall has ended on a temporary agreement.

• A. truce
• B. hot war
• C. agenda
• D. fight

Answer 1

Answer:

A. truce

• Defining "Truce": A truce is an agreement between enemies or opponents to stop fighting or arguing for a certain period of time. It is, by definition, a temporary agreement or a pause. Contextual Fit: The sentence mentions a meeting in a conference hall ending in an agreement. If that agreement is not permanent but intended to stop immediate conflict or disagreement, "truce" is the most professional and semantically accurate word. Logical Substitution: Substituting "temporary agreement" with "truce" makes the sentence more concise while retaining the exact same meaning.
