Question

I was pretty pleased with the article and had a good feeling about sending it to the history magazine. No simultaneous submissions are allowed by the magazine publishers, so I had to wait for their answer before sending the article anywhere else. Luckily, the news was good! Now I can focus on finishing some of my other articles and getting them in print, too.

Answer 1

From the context of the second paragraph, what is the meaning of simultaneous submissions?

an article sent to a second publisher after the first one has rejected it
many different articles or stories written by the same author
the same article or story sent to multiple publishers at once
articles the publisher sends back to the author for revision
