Correct Answer: (3)
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the third option "adjourned".
This is a valid alternative and is often used in legal contexts to indicate the temporary suspension or rescheduling of a hearing or meeting.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Delayed : This is a synonym of "postponed," and while it conveys a similar meaning, it is not used formally in the case of legal meetings.
- Pushed : This word is not typically used in formal legal or tribunal settings to indicate the rescheduling of a hearing.
Therefore, the correct sentence is "The tribunal has adjourned the hearing to December 15".
