Question

After the interval, the movie resumed. The underlined word means.................

• A. continued
• B. returned
• C. repeated
• D. receded

Answer 1

Answer:

D. receded

The underlined word "resumed" means "continued" or "started again" after a pause or break. It does not mean "receded".

"Receded" means to move back or away, or to diminish, which is the opposite of resuming. In this context, "resumed" refers to the movie starting again after the interval.
