The volunteer organization relies entirely on _______ contributions from the community to fund its programs. Without these generous gifts, the food bank would be unable to serve the hundreds of families who depend on it.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
mandatory
stolen
voluntary
imaginary
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The passage describes a "volunteer organization" relying on "generous gifts," indicating freely given support. "Voluntary" means given willingly without being forced, fitting this context.
Choice A is incorrect because "mandatory" means required, contradicting "volunteer organization." Choice B is incorrect because "stolen" suggests illegal activity, contradicting legitimate contributions. Choice D is incorrect because "imaginary" would mean the contributions don't exist.
