    The given question has one blank indicating that something

    has been omitted. Choose the word for the given options that could fit in the blank correctly. The archaeologist was careful not to _______ any assumptions before verifying the age of the artifact.
    A conceal Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B announce Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C derive Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D presume Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E exaggerate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The sentence suggests caution before making conclusions — the archaeologist waits to verify the age.So, the missing word should reflect the act of assuming something without confirmation. "Presume" means to take something for granted without proof, which fits perfectly in the context.
