Question

    Choose the most appropriate word from the options that

    can fill the blanks. Despite years of international negotiations and formal pledges, most wealthy nations continue to ______ when it comes to delivering climate finance, a trend that has deepened distrust and prompted widespread criticism of their perceived ______ toward global commitments.
    A advocate … dedication Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B accelerate … resolve Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C equivocate … apathy Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D comply … fidelity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E intervene … neutrality Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Equivocate means to avoid giving a clear answer — matches the inaction. Apathy means lack of concern — aligns with distrust and criticism. Others don’t work: • Advocate and dedication are positive — opposite of what’s implied. • Comply means following through, contradicting “continue to...”  • Neutrality and intervene are unrelated to lack of commitment.
