Question 1 Report

Choose the option nearest in meaning to the word underlined.

The move to expel the chairman was sanctioned by members of the party?

Answer Details
The option nearest in meaning to the underlined word "sanctioned" is "supported." In this context, "sanctioned" means to give official approval or permission for an action, decision or plan. Therefore, "supported" is the option nearest in meaning, as it also means to approve or agree with something. The other options are not synonyms of "sanctioned." "Unleashed" means to release or set free, "opposed" means to resist or go against, and "initiated" means to begin or start something.
