Question

which word best completes the sentence? as president of the student council last year, ashley learned how important it was to ______ tasks to the other officers so that council activities could run efficiently. delegate duplicate deflect deduct

Explanation:

We analyze the meaning of each word in the context of the sentence:

1. "Delegate" means to assign tasks to others, which fits the need for council activities to run efficiently by distributing work to other officers.
2. "Duplicate" means to copy, which does not make sense in this context.
3. "Deflect" means to turn something aside, which is irrelevant to assigning tasks.
4. "Deduct" means to subtract, which has no connection to the sentence's meaning.

Answer:

delegate
