    blank followed by 5 options. From the given options choose the option which can fill the given blank most appropriately and make the sentence both contextually and grammatically correct. The company had to ________ its expansion plans due to the economic slowdown.
    A endorse Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B postpone Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C initiate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D accelerate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E commemorate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    "Postpone" means to delay or reschedule something for a later time, which fits the context of delaying expansion plans. "Endorse" means to approve or support, "initiate" means to begin, and "accelerate" means to speed up, neither of which make sense in this context.
