Question

Which statement best tells how the underlined words in the paragraph are related?

I will abide by the regulations of the city and oblige the citizens by giving freely of my time and talent. I will promise that I will put the town's welfare above my own. But I must ask that you do the same.

A.
Both words describe how hard someone is willing to work.

B.
Both are words that tell what a person will do for others.

C.
Both words name people who work for a city.

D.
Both are words that describe what people expect of others.

The Underlined Words are Abide and Oblige

Answer 1

Well, let's find the definition of these two words first:

Abide - accept or act in accordance with (a rule, decision, or recommendation).
Oblige - make (someone) legally or morally bound to an action or course of action.

So, we know that they're kind of similar because it is about doing something because of a specific rule. Although abide is to accept to do something, either because you have to or because a recommendation, and oblige means to make someone do it because they have to.

Answer 2

true

Answer 3

just dont know for sure which one is correct?

Answer 4

This one is tricky, I agree. We can cross out B because these words don't specifically say what a person will do for others. C should also be incorrect.

Answer 5

Or maybe B can be correct along with A and D...I'm not really sure, this one is confusing. (>~<)
