<h1>3: Proponents of the bill ------- it to cover only foreign entities, since opponents had threatened to ------ any measure imposed on U.S. businesses.</h1>
<p>C- supported … annul
D- exhumed … bury
E- amended … quash</p>
<p>A and B are incorrect.</p>
<p>Would it be E?</p>
<p>Amended- Made minor changes
Quash- Reject</p>
<p>The answer is E. </p>
<p>D is incorrect because laws are neither exhumed nor buried. Those words are generally reserved for dead bodies.</p>
<p>C is incorrect because the proponents (people who like it) wouldn’t support it to cover only foreign entities; they would want universal coverage. It’s implied that the bill used to cover foreign and US businesses, but the opponents were going to block it if it hurt US entities. </p>
<p>This isn’t the best explanation, but this is what I can give you. Also, I like putting in simple words for the blanks before looking at the answer choices so I have an idea of the right answer. Here are the 2 words I used; this may give you a better idea of why I chose E:</p>
<p>Proponents of the bill CHANGED it to cover only foreign entities, since opponents had threatened to BLOCK any measure imposed on U.S. businesses.</p>
