question 9 of 50
what does the word boycott most likely mean?
○ pay
○ refuse to support
○ support
○ enter
○ none of these choices are correct.

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "boycott", we analyze the context. Anna didn't go to the restaurant (because it treated employees badly) and went to another place. "Pay" (A) doesn't fit as it's about transaction, not visiting. "Support" (C) is opposite of her action. "Enter" (D) is also opposite. "Refuse to support" (B) matches: she refused to support the bad - treating restaurant by not going there.

Answer:

B. refuse to support
