Question: 302

12. After a series of argumentative negotiations, both sides seemed ready for _______ so they could get back to the task at hand.

  • A. an admonition
  • B. an abatement
  • C. a reconciliation
  • D. a validation

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C is correct. The key to this question is the phrase "after a series of argumentative negotiations." Logically, you can conclude that the two sides are ready to move past their differences "so they could get back to the task at hand." A reconciliation (choice C) is a "agreement" and this is the correct answer. An admonition (choice A) is "a warning or cautionary advice," and an abatement (choice B) is "a reduction."
