Question

what does \dismiss\ mean in these sentences? our marching band leader will rarely dismiss us early. she only allows us to leave after we have practiced each routine twice. options: to play a song for someone, to speak again, to send instructions to someone, to send away

Explanation:

To determine the meaning of "dismiss" in the sentence, we analyze the context. The sentence says the band leader rarely dismisses them early and only lets them leave after practicing routines twice. So "dismiss" here should relate to allowing them to leave, which matches "to send away". The other options: "to play a song for someone" is irrelevant, "to speak again" doesn't fit, and "to send instructions to someone" is not what the context implies.

Answer:

D. to send away
