Read the following sentence and choose the best definition for the underlined word by searching for context clues in the sentence:

The attorney wanted to expedite the process, because her client was becoming impatient.

Option 1: accelerate Option 2: evaluate Option 3: reverse Option 4: justify

AfterBoards · Accepted Answer

'Accelerate' matches the context as it implies speeding up the process, fitting the client's impatience.
'Evaluate' means to assess, which is not suggested by the urgency in the sentence.
'Reverse' would mean to undo or turn back, opposite of what is described.
'Justify' means to prove or show to be right or reasonable, not connected to speeding up a process.
