readingWhich choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?
A
approve
B
celebrate
C
table
D
publish
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. The passage describes waiting for more information before proceeding. "Table" means to postpone consideration, fitting this delay for more data.
Choice A is incorrect because "approve" contradicts waiting for information. Choice B is incorrect because "celebrate" is inappropriate for a controversial proposal. Choice D is incorrect because "publish" doesn't relate to decision-making process.
