The school district decided to _______ its outdated computer systems and invest in modern technology. The old machines were unable to run the software needed for contemporary education.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
repair
replace
advertise
admire
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The passage describes a decision to get rid of "outdated" systems and "invest in modern technology." "Replace" means to substitute with something new, fitting this upgrade scenario.
Choice A is incorrect because "repair" suggests fixing, not upgrading to new systems. Choice C is incorrect because "advertise" doesn't relate to updating technology. Choice D is incorrect because "admire" contradicts the description of systems as inadequate.
