Question
In the question below, a sentence is given which has a blank, meaning something has been omitted. From the options below, choose the correct combination of phrases that can fit in the blank to make the sentence grammatically and meaningfully correct. During the final phase of the climate negotiations, several participating economies agreed to postpone binding commitments and instead ______ until a more comprehensive verification framework became operational. 1. called off immediate compliance measures 2. held back from adopting mandatory targets 3. put up with environmental obligations
Solution
The sentence concerns: → delaying binding climate obligations. Evaluate: 1. called off immediate compliance measures → Correct Means cancelled or postponed. 2. held back from adopting mandatory targets → Correct Means intentionally delayed adoption. 3. put up with environmental obligations → Incorrect “Put up with” means tolerate/endure, not postpone commitments. Thus both 1 and 2 fit. Hence, option (2).
