readingWhich choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A
maintain
B
abandon
C
explain
D
celebrate
Correct Answer: B
Choice B is the best answer. The passage describes moving "in favor of" a different model, indicating the subscription model was discontinued. "Abandon" means to give up, fitting this change.
Choice A is incorrect because "maintain" contradicts changing models. Choice C is incorrect because "explain" doesn't convey changing systems. Choice D is incorrect because "celebrate" doesn't fit the business decision context.
