Question

"The Senate vote showed strong support to the thousand-page bill painstakingly crafted by eight senators from
both parties and amended this week to bring in some skeptics."

Which of the following words could replace "amended" in the above sentence?
A. revised
B. written
C. replaced
D. supported​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The world revised could replace "amended" in the sentence.

Explanation:

The sentence refers to a bill that is being debated in the Senate, which has approved with the vote the bill so that it becomes law. In order to reach such an agreement, the Senate has made it possible to review the bill and amend possible errors or disagreements in it, with the aim of a greater probability of approval. This act of revising and correcting a bill to become a law is known as revising.
