Members of the Parliament were poised _____ ahead with a bill to approve construction of the oil pipeline. A to move B moving C to moving D at moving
The correct answer to fill in the blank for the sentence "Members of the Parliament were poised _____ ahead with a bill to approve construction of the oil pipeline" is A. to move.
This is based on the grammatical structure of the phrase "poised to," which is commonly used to indicate that someone or a group is ready and prepared to take action. The phrase "poised to move ahead" suggests that the members of the Parliament are on the verge of proceeding with the bill. This usage is confirmed by the reference provided, which is a repetition of the question with the correct answer indicated as option A. to move 6.
The other options, B. moving, C. to moving, and D. at moving, do not fit grammatically into the sentence. Option B, "moving," would require a different sentence structure, and options C and D are not standard forms used in English for this context.
Therefore, the correct completion of the sentence is: "Members of the Parliament were poised to move ahead with a bill to approve construction of the oil pipeline." 6
