Select the most more appropriate option to fill in the blank. |
All the Board members were present with the _____ of the secretary. |
exception failure absence omission |
exception |
The most appropriate option to fill in the blank is exception. The sentence "All the Board members were present with the exception of the secretary" means that all the Board members were present, with the one exception of the secretary. The word "exception" is the most appropriate word to use in the blank because it accurately reflects the fact that the secretary was the only one who was not present. The other options are not as appropriate.
