Question 1 Report

From the words lettered A. to D below each of the following sentences, choose the word or group of words that is nearest in meaning to the underlined word as it is used in the sentences. 

The World Bank made funds available to the government for poverty alleviation.

Answer Details
The correct option that completes the sentence is "reduction". The sentence implies that the World Bank provided money to the government to help reduce the level of poverty in the country. Therefore, "reduction" is the appropriate word to use in the sentence. The other options such as "removal," "termination," and "elimination" suggest a complete eradication of poverty, which may not be feasible with just one funding.
