Question

Fill in the blank with the correct option:
The President finally had to __________ the demands of the public for his resignation.

• A. ignore
• B. initiate
• C. accede to
• D. condone

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

The sentence to be completed is: "The President finally had to _____ the demands of the public for his resignation." Let's evaluate the options:

• ignore: Implies disregarding the demands. This contradicts "finally had to," suggesting a forced action.
• initiate: Means to start something. This is illogical as the demands were already made.
• accede to: Means to agree to a demand. This fits, indicating the President yielded to public pressure.
• condone: Means to accept wrongdoing. This is irrelevant to the context of resignation.

The correct completion is "accede to":

The President finally had to accede to the demands of the public for his resignation.
