Despite the team's best efforts, the project remained _______ due to budget constraints. Without additional funding, they could not proceed to the next phase of development.
Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
incomplete
successful
famous
forgotten
Correct Answer: A
Choice A is the best answer. The passage states they "could not proceed to the next phase," indicating the project was unfinished. "Incomplete" means not finished, directly matching this stalled progress.
Choice B is incorrect because "successful" contradicts not being able to proceed. Choice C is incorrect because "famous" refers to recognition, not completion status. Choice D is incorrect because "forgotten" doesn't relate to the budget issue described.
