Correct Answer: emitting


Solution : The most appropriate choice is the first choice.

"Emitting" is the correct synonym for "exhaling" in this context, as it refers to the release or discharge of black smoke from the factory's chimney.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • "Preserving" means to maintain or keep something in its current state.
  • "Remitting" means to send money as a payment or gift.
  • "Indicating" means to show or point out.

Therefore, the complete sentence is: "The factory has been emitting black smoke from its chimney."
