Craft and Structure practice question

For most of the report the traffic question is ____, mentioned only in a footnote and never taken up in the recommendations.

Which choice completes the text with the most logical and precise word or phrase?

  1. A. peripheralCorrect
  2. B. central
  3. C. urgent
  4. D. resolved

Answer: A. peripheral

A question confined to a footnote and left out of the recommendations sits at the edge of the report — it is 'peripheral'.

Why the other answers are wrong

B. central
'Central' is the opposite of a question relegated to a footnote.
C. urgent
An urgent question would be treated at length, not in a footnote.
D. resolved
'Resolved' would mean the question was settled; it was barely raised.
