Answer
Brief Explanations:
- Analyze each sentence based on the given definitions.
- In "The alarms omit a frequency that cannot be heard by the human ear", "omit" is wrong as alarms produce (emit) a frequency, not leave it out.
- "The teacher will omit the lowest score in order to increase the averages" uses "omit" correctly as it means leaving out the lowest - score.
- "We are attempting to emit the last few chapters in order to save paper" is wrong; one should "omit" chapters to save paper, not "emit" (produce) them.
- "The movie emitted the offensive graphics that caused the boycott" is wrong; the movie should have "omitted" the offensive graphics (left them out), not "emitted" (produced).
Answer:
The teacher will omit the lowest score in order to increase the averages.
