Question

question 1 of 28
what does the word \eliminate\ most likely mean, as it is used in this
sentence?
after a lot of thought about each of the job candidates, we
agreed to eliminate all but three, who were then invited for
an interview.
a. discuss
b. hire
c. exclude
d. consider

Explanation:

The sentence states that after evaluating candidates, only three were invited for interviews, meaning the rest were removed from consideration. "Exclude" matches this meaning of removing someone from a group or process. "Discuss" refers to talking about something, "Hire" means employing someone, and "Consider" means thinking about someone, none of which fit the context of removing non-selected candidates.

Answer:

C. Exclude
