Correct Answer: prohibit


Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

The word prohibit is the most suitable choice in this context because it directly means to forbid or disallow something, which accurately describes the state laws' stance on the sale of alcoholic beverages inside the stadium.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Freeze: This word typically relates to the change of state from a liquid to a solid due to cold temperatures.
  • While inhibit can mean to hinder or restrict, it is a more general term and may not convey the idea of a legal prohibition as strongly as 'prohibit' does.
  • Impede: This word means to obstruct or hinder progress. While it could suggest some level of hindrance, it doesn't specifically indicate a legal restriction or prohibition on the sale of alcoholic beverages.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: State laws prohibit the sale of alcohol inside the stadium.
