Question

read the sentence. the judge ordered that the hearing continue at a later date. which of these words best replaces and makes more precise the meaning of the underlined words? a a postponement b a continuing c a cancellation d a convening

Explanation:

The word "adjournment" means the action of ending a meeting or session with the intention of resuming it later. In the context of a hearing being ended until a later date, "adjournment" is the most appropriate replacement. "Continuing" is an adjective not a noun like the underlined word should be. "Cancellation" means the event is called - off permanently, not postponed. "Convening" means the act of calling a meeting to start, not ending it temporarily.

Answer:

A. a postponement
