  INQUIRED, ASKED
- C.
  
  REJECTED, CONDEMNED
- D.
  
  SUPPORTED, DEFENDED
Correct Answer
A. CIRCULATED, SPREAD

Explanation
The word "disseminated" means to spread or circulate information among people. Therefore, the correct answer choices are "circulated" and "spread" as they have similar meanings to "disseminated". The other answer choices, "inquired, asked", "rejected, condemned", and "supported, defended" do not have the same meaning and are not appropriate synonyms for "disseminated".

- C.

- D.
  
  Finally
Correct Answer
C. Not defintely

Explanation
The word "tentatively" suggests that the speaker agreed to attend the meeting with some uncertainty or hesitation. The phrase "not definitely" aligns with this meaning, indicating that the agreement was not made with complete certainty or decisiveness. The other options, "enthusiastically," "unequivocally," and "finally," do not convey the same sense of uncertainty and hesitation.

The word "prompted" indicates that the government's decision to raise taxes had a motivating or stimulating effect on us, leading us to form a new political party. Therefore, the correct answer is "encouraged."

Correct Answer
C. Unavoidable

Explanation
The correct answer is "unavoidable" because the sentence states that his victory in the election was inevitable, meaning it was certain or bound to happen. This is supported by the reason given, which is that he made such a good impression on television. Therefore, his victory was unavoidable and could not be prevented.

B. Many

Explanation
The word "numerous" suggests that there are a large number of possible answers to the questions raised in her speech. This indicates that there is a wide range of potential explanations or solutions to the issues she has brought up. It implies that there is not just one correct answer, but rather multiple valid responses that could be considered.

Correct Answer
C. Consists of

Explanation
The correct answer is "consists of" because it accurately describes the situation where the new department is made up of students from different fields. "Comprises" means the same thing as "consists of," so it is the appropriate choice in this context. "Advises," "turns down," and "depends on" do not make sense in relation to the given sentence.

Correct Answer
C. Carry out

Explanation
The phrase "difficult to implement" implies that there was a decision or plan in place, but executing or putting it into action posed challenges. "Carry out" is the most suitable option as it means to perform or accomplish a task or plan. The other options do not convey the idea of putting a decision into action.
