Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

When a meeting is advanced , it means it has been moved to an earlier date. However, the sentence intends to convey that the meeting was rescheduled or moved to a later date.
The more appropriate word to use in this context is adjourned, which means to postpone or reschedule a meeting to a later date.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Suspended: It means to temporarily stop an action.
  • Forwarded: It refers to the action of sending something to a further destination or location.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: The meeting was adjourned until the following Monday.
