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.

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.
