Correct Answer: postpone


Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option .

Explanation: The word "adjourn" means to postpone or suspend a meeting, and in the context of the sentence, it refers to delaying happiness for the future. The synonym that fits logically in the context is "postpone', as it conveys the idea of delaying or putting off something for later.

So, the correct sentence would be: "Happiness is not something you postpone for the future. It is something you design for the present."
