Question

read the dictionary entry.
promotion \pra-moshan\\ n 1. the act of moving someone to a higher job, grade, or rank 2. support or encouragement of the progress or growth of something 3. advertising or publicity 4. an act, event, or offer that helps increase interest in or demand for something
which definition best matches the meaning of promotion as it is used in paragraph 11?
∘ definition 1
∘ definition 2
∘ definition 3
∘ definition 4

Explanation:

To solve this, we need the context of paragraph 11 (which is not provided here). However, if we assume a common context where "promotion" relates to marketing/advertising (e.g., a sales promotion), Definition 4 ("an act, event, or offer that helps increase interest in or demand for something") or Definition 3 ("advertising or publicity") might apply. If the paragraph is about a job promotion, Definition 1 applies. Since the paragraph isn't given, but if we consider typical usage in business/marketing contexts, often Definition 4 or 3. But without the paragraph, we can't be certain. However, if we assume a common scenario like a product promotion (to increase demand), Definition 4 is a strong candidate.

To determine the correct definition, we need the context of paragraph 11 (not provided). However, if the paragraph involves increasing interest/demand (e.g., a product promotion), Definition 4 ("an act, event, or offer that helps increase interest in or demand for something") aligns. If it’s about job advancement, Definition 1; if about growth support, Definition 2; if about advertising, Definition 3. Without the paragraph, but for common marketing/product contexts, Definition 4 is likely.

Answer:

(Assuming a product - related context) D. Definition 4: an act, event, or offer that helps increase interest in or demand for something
