Question

Select the most suitable option to complete the sentence:

The army commander’s decision was ______, made without full information, and it ______ the entire mission.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The word **'abrupt'** means sudden or unexpected, which fits the context of a decision made hastily without complete information.

2. The term **'jeopardized'** means to put something at risk or in danger, which logically describes the negative impact on the mission.

3. Therefore, the sentence implies that the commander’s sudden decision endangered the mission.

**Why other options are incorrect:**

- **(b) trivial, confirmed:** 'Trivial' means unimportant, which does not suit the seriousness of the decision. Also, 'confirmed the mission' does not make sense here.

- **(c) relevant, intensified:** 'Relevant' contradicts the phrase 'made without full information.' 'Intensified' suggests strengthening, which is opposite to the negative consequence expected.

- **(d) delayed, fortified:** 'Delayed' conflicts with the idea of a quick decision. 'Fortified' means strengthened, which again is a positive outcome, not fitting the context.

**Answer:** (a) abrupt, jeopardized
